Schaeffers will outperform both in all 4 categories.

I'll second and third that. PP is a decent oil for the money. Schaeffer is a killer oil for the money. It can embarrass $7qt oils many times.

Now, over the last few months it seems that the world has passed me by. I’ve learned the following here from a younger generation:

Oil filters are a performance product! The selection of the correct oil filter will increase horsepower to a noticeable level!

Oil selection should be based upon how it “feels” in your fingers!

Oil is also a performance product!
Some oil will increase ONLY Horsepower!
Some oil will increase ONLY torque!

Oil is comparable to butter on a baked potato!

The correct selection of oil will eliminate gas-tank fuel-pump noise!

The correct selection of oil will make your automatic transmission shift smother!

If a car that is capable of running a middle 15 second ¼ mile ET at about 91Mph, a 1-5 peak RWHP or FWHP can be “felt” in the small of your back under full throttle acceleration!

Thanks to some of the younger generation that now post on this board, I have been exposed to a new world of oil and oil filter selection criteria! I may be an old dog, but I’m going to do my best to learn some of these new tricks!

Hey, now, don't make fun of us younger people. Sure, poke fun at the ricer 06VTECV6 or whatever his name is..., and some of the other young ones that like to supe up their 4 cylinders. But, I am 21 and I go by facts only. I have worked in a garage for over 3 years and have learned a lot, and know I have a lot to learn, also.

I could poke fun at you 'over 50' people and say that I have learned that Castrol is a bad oil...

Schaeffer's is an excellent oil, but I don't think it's worth mail ordering. With so many good oils on the shelf, I'd use PP. Ordering Amsoil or RL makes more sense IMO bc they are full synthetic oils.

Buster you surprise me. This would infer that RL and Am are syns and we are not. AND that they are superior based on syn vs. dino.

I thought Series 9000 was full Synthetic?

 

[salesrep]

It is.

 

[Gene K]

Ahhh I get it... He doesnt like GIII/GIV Synthetics only GIV/V. Well I do know Ive seen the 7000 soundly kick Mobil 1's butt.

Now how about giving me a local distibutor in North Alabama instead of one or two small Autoparts stores that only carry products Im not interested in!
