Well, the only reasonable course at this point is to replace the oil and
hope it didn't do any damage.

But I once added just one quart of "highly recommended additive", and less
than 500 miles later the crankshaft snapped.  Not a Triumph, and that engine
was known to have a weak crank (not to mention having 1/4 million miles on
it), but it put me right off of oil additives <G>
