Schaeffers 7000 "Synthetic Plus"

[ericthepig]

(I put the text below in my M1 OCI post, but thought it's worthy of it's own thread - perhaps someone can verify this. Slightly editing the text from the other post.)

The Schaeffers rep I spoke to today said Schaeffers will soon be relabelling their "Synthetic blend" as "Synthetic Plus". He was flying thru the chemistry and labelling issues talk, but if I followed him correctly - it's that the conventional in the 7000 series is (or will be) a grp III - thus 7000 is a blend of two synthetics - the grp III and the PAO. He stated that the dino processing reaches 2000 degrees - I didn't think grp III required this temperature level - perhaps this is a "severly processed" grp III (a grp III+ as I've heard it called in a technical write-up). So perhaps Scheaffers is one of the first to use the grp III+ and thus why they're giving it this name (I'm wondering out loud here - wish I would've thought to ask on the fly today).

Anybody else have any knowledge of this?

I spoke with a representative from Schaeffer several months ago that said the 7000"blend" had been a group3 and 4 mixture for some time but had not been re-named becouse of the costs involved in doing so. Apparently having it re-certified was expensive. I do not know becouse I basically pour the stuff in an engine and see how long it will run with good results. He also said the transmission fluid 204SAT was actually a full synthetic now but on their site it is still refered to as a blend. I do not know but I do know that it would explain why some cars are running the 7000 for 10-12K intervals with good results. Not all cars can run that long on any type of oil but in the right engines Schaeffer 7000 gives alot for the price.

I really wanna try some of this when my stash is empty (which I doubt will be anytime soon...

)

Quoted from another post by salesrep.

"Schaeffers 7000 is now full Syn. Grp III + PAO."

To clarify Supreme 7000 series is and will remain a blend of GII plus and pao. The 9000 series is full synthetic GIII and Pao.
