Here is the response I received from Birchwood Casey: "Dennis, Thank you for your note. Birchwood Casey has their own synthetic gun oil as well as the Rig 2. It was cost effective to use the same cans and just pay extra for the RIG 2 labels. The synthetic oil cans are actually used for several...

I just received a 4.5 oz can of Birchwood Casey Rig #2 gun oil. The can actually had a "Rig #2" label applied over what turns out to be a can marked as synthetic gun oil. Do you think Rig #2 gun oil is just Birchwood Casey's regular synthetic gun oil relabeled? I sent Birchwood Casey an email...

beanoil, Thanks for the reply. Maybe the lower zinc rating has something to do with newer Harleys having catalytic converters? Just something I heard. My '05 doesn't have a cat but I believe the newer ones do. I do agree with you that Schaeffer does make a very good product. My vehicles run...

beanoil, I'm not a motorhead, so what does that all mean? Thanks.

salesrep, Thanks for clarifying the new product identification for me! I think I'm going to be needing to try a case of this new oil. Cheers.

I'm thinking #707 is a new product. From Schaeffer's TD (technical data) sheets the following is included for the #707 product: "Supreme Synthetic Plus V-Twin Racing Oil meets and exceeds the following specifications and manufacturers’ requirements: API Service Classification SN...

Hello, I've been off the radar for a while so I was a little surprised when I went into the local NAPA store for my good old Schaeffer 20W-50 V-twin approved racing oil only to be greeted by a new bottle. This new container for product #705 no longer says v-twin approved so I was a bit...

Thanks all. I suspected there was only one grade of straight, no-frills Mobil 1. Cheers, Dennis

I use Mobil 1 5w-30 am wondering if there is a more than one kind? I don't mean high-mileage or SUV types but I mean are there different grade regular Mobil 1 oils? Specifically, is there a difference between a bottle that says "contains supersyn" versus one that just says "fully synthetic"...

Thanks all for the great responses! I will forge ahead on the road oiled by Schaeffer! Dennis p.s. My Harley really really likes the Schaeffer 7000 20W-50. I've run that bike for 40,000 miles with Mobil-1 V-Twin or Harley's Syn3 and I know what its capabilities as well as limits are and with...

I am interested in the possibility of changing over to Schaeffer 7000 5W-30 in my passenger car. Does anyone have any long term experience with this oil after long term usage, say 50,000+ miles? I'm interested in knowing if any mechanically adapt people out there (not me, that's for sure) saw...

Oilboy123, Thanks for the link. Dennis

Boraticus, Nice, well kept bikes! Dennis

Has anyone done an oil analysis on Harley's Syn-3 20W-50? I did a search and didn't find anything. Maybe it's there but I don't know how to find it. I would sure like to see some real world numbers on this stuff.
