I used Arco Graphite a few times in my 6 cylinder 1966 Mustang. I did not experience any issues with it. I stopped using it after many bad rumors were circulating.
 
This guy's great. I like the controlled scientific environment he maintains. He will be working at Underwriters Laboratories before you know it. Removes the human element.
 
That oil looks like it would behave just like silver anti-seize paste. You get a little spot of it somewhere and in about 20 min you're finding it in places you'd swear you never touched.
 
I still think this oil was so far ahead of its time, no one realized it.

Look at years later all the work that went into proving the value and science of molybdenum - demonstrating the plating action, the fuel economy benefits - look at all the oils that use it, Mazda Moly, Zepro Advanced.

This oil did all that years earlier!
 
That 10w-40 Quaker State (at 11:47) had a useless amount of ZDDP. 475 PPM of phosphorus and 581 PPM of zinc. I guess it's a good oil if you got an oil burner and want to keep the cat converter in shape.
