I wouldn't call it _extensive_ experience, but I have used it enough
to know I would never use or recommend it again!  The engines ran
easier and got better gas mileage, they also ate engine parts at an
alarming rate.  A pinto 2000cc 4 banger ate a cam after only 8000 mi.
of arco graphite and a 302cid small block ate a set of rod and main
bearings.  I have built a lot of engines and they all last 150,000+
miles (unless I made the mistake of putting arco graphite in it!!!).

I wouldn't use it if they were giving it away free!
