Well I am not totally ignorant of the VOA's and used oil analysis of this oil. Nor am I ignorant of the "rep" this oil has with hard core gearheads in my area of South Texas. I have never used it myself. Today I found a fire sale at NAPA in Boerne, Texas. Should this post be in the "Sales" or "Rebates" section I do not know and defer to the mods. I am posting for two reasons. 1. At $2.90 per quart for 5-20/5-30 or 15-40 7000 series did I feel I got a decent deal for a decent oil. I got a Dodge Dakota R/T truck bed full of 5-30 and 15-40 Shaeffers 7000....and left a boatload of 5-20 as I have no cars that require nor call for that oil. I mean the bed was full of quart bottles. I do not know how many I got. They charged me $150 bucks flat ...as they also did not "feel" like counting it. I would guess I have well over 100 quarts.
2. The reason I post. Apparently Shaeffers is having a "issue" with distribution down here. The NAPA dealer here and the local Shaeffers dealer obviously have a issue. The Shaeffers dealer is going around selling this stuff for like $2.90 per quart to anybody. If they do not meet some quota then he raises it to like $4.00 per quart. So this has #@$%! off many outlets like NAPA/AutoZone he was supplying here in South Texas and they have just said screw it and are having a large "coordinated" Fire Sale all over San Antonio and the surrounding area. Lots of Shaeffers for cheap around here right now.
 
Well this is not good because I am out of town

Went by there this morning and I'm the only one raiding the Schaeffers stash. So he had a lot ( a bunch in Texan) of 5-20 that I could see and I do not know what other weights. I have run out of room in the shop for anymore. I've already been ask if I am a new distributor

I got Shaeffers all lined up on dad gum near every empty shelf I had! Guess I'll go green for awhile

2.90 a qt. is an excellent price for 7000series and it is alot more than just a decent oil. It puts up used oil analysis that beat alot of 7$ a qt. oils. I would buy all I could afford for that price. The 15W40 works great in motorcycles and ATVs. You got a deal on that oil.

Usually, the minimum order to avoid shipping is $300 so that may have been the "quota" you were referring to.
