Schaeffer's does make some good stuff. Did you search through the UOA section? Just search for "Schaeffers 5w-30" You could even see if anyone has run it in a Tundra too.

Look as if you'll be the 1st with it in a v8...lots of v6 reports.

I ran Schaeffers 5W30 Blend in a new 05 Toyota 4Runner V6 for 3010 miles. With only 4500 miles on a new engine it still had single digit wear.
Iron 9
Copper 6
Lead 2
IMHO this is the best blend on the market.

I had used Schaeffers in a Camry v6 oil muncher went three intervals at 5k with no issues.
Then I used M1 because of my oil inventory pre BITOG and in two intervals it used a qt in each.
I still use Schaeffers in my Tundra because it sees 20k a year.Just order a case of the 5w40 from site supporter. So no worry on seasonal timing.

The Schaeffer oils are some of the longest lived oils available. I know salesmen who drive clunkers and the lab has them on 10,000 mile oil drain intervals with that Schaeffer oil. In a good engine it is good for 12,000 or more. It is the lowest cost per mile of any oil I know of, and keeps the engine clean with reduced wear. I use the 10W-30 in my turbo Volvo, and I think the boost gauge is climbing faster with this oil.
