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.
