No, that's not it. It was a motor oil that came out about the same time as Mobil 1, cost about the same, but I think it was oil based(not synth), but had some kind of graphite additives that was supposed to do the same thing as synth oil, last longer, lubricate better, ect. I remember reading a test report in probably about 1981 or so. They compared it with Mobil1 and regular oil. it was pretty much on par with Mobil1 in performance. I used it in my Pinto that had a built up 2.0L engine. Stuff was black going in, so it always looked dirty.
