Schaeffer 7k is not their full synthetic offering. Schaeffer 9k is. Excellent oil though.

They are slowly making their way to stores. Easy to find online now. Even being sold on E-Bay. Unfortunately, these places are WAY over charging for shipping. Anywhere from $7-$10 p/ filter to ship is just crazy.
It is bad enough paying $14.99 at PepBoys for one never mind $11 + $10 shipping so $21 a filter. I use them and tried to get them for less than PB's but can't beat that price due to shipping.

Can't get the 9000 in 10w-30 around here, so using the 7000. Its the only oil i have tried that I don't have to add any between oil changes. Car uses about 3/4 of a quart between changes. Others I tried had to have a quart added. Car is 1984 Plymouth Gran fury with 318.
It may not be full synthetic but it is an excellent oil. And the engine is much quieter mechanically with schaeffers than with mobil 1.

I will do that, but just the weight and sturdiness of the filter impressed me. Champ is manufacturing the filter for RP and uses the synthetic filter media that Donaldson invented.
Car has sat for three days and on cranking no oil light. Very good anti drainback.

If you find a retailer online who doesn't get crazy with the shipping you can buy a larger quantity of them ground shipping and bring the price per filter down.

Go to advance auto and order online. Plus the bitoger's in here always post online discount codes to help you save on even more.
ps- sometimes free shipping when you order over a certain amount.

They had the initial exclusive deal to carry them but that has expired and anyone can know sell them. It is taking time for them to get to other sources though. Tons of places online now that sell them but the shipping they charge is crazy making the filters over $20 each. Just stupid what they charge. $10 to ship an oil filter = OH PLEASE!
AAP does not carry them in store or online that I can see.
