[ bug food ]

	Even with all this talk about oil, I've seen no mention of ARCO
graphite. Does anyone have extensive experience with it. I used it for a
short while, then finally gave it up, could'nt tell what was happening
in my engine. The stuff went in black and came out black, not much change.

	Does the graphite stay in suspension? Can it clog the filter?
Does the graphite hang on the engine components when the engine is turned
off? (seems to conflict with staying in suspension). What about mixing
it with other oils? Can the graphite CAUSE wear ? Once an engine wears
and loses tolerance can the oil+graphite crud up the cylinders and
plugs.

			Thanks.
