The Proxes series is excellent. Had on my Caddies for years. A great value, IMO.

Anybody here have experience with Schaeffer's 20w50 racing oil in their bike? They make a syn blend and a moly blend. I have used their oils in my powerstroke, but not in a car or bike. radioman

Can someone point me at how one can find out what baee stock a syn oil is made from? For example, how do we know that Rotella T Synthetic is made from petro. base stock? Where are these classes? Very much appreciated.

It appears that Schaeffers does not make a full synthetic for diesel engines. Am I mistaken?

Thanks for the reply. I think I can discern from Rotella Synthetic specs that it comes from dino. But as to price justification, its only 70 cents a gallong cheaper at base stock than class IV, which retails for twice as much. Shows at least to me that the big dough they charge for Class IV oils...
