Schaeffer's is like GC !!

[Alex D]

Now I knew that topic subject would get your attention

I changed oil in our Mark VIII today and replaced the Citgo 5W-30 with ARX that was in there for 2,700 miles with a batch of Schaeffer's that I had in the basement for the rinse cycle.

So I open the Schaeffer's bottles (I had never used that stuff before) and started pouring it in the engine.

WOW, what a surprise!!

That stuff is as green as GC, maybe even greener AND !!! it smells just like the GC I have.

Some people here call it like "Gummi Bears", but I don't smell gummi bears out of that distinctive smell and I grew up in Germany.

The smell of the Schaeffer's is however distinctively different than all the other oils I have used AND is identical to the GC I have. I opened a GC bottle and a Schaeffers and held them in each hand doing a smell test. They are the same.

Chicks dig a guy whose engine smells like the Gummi Bear factory.

Haribo uses now natural coloring in their gummi bears.

I use to to work in a Haribo fcatory in Bonn, Germany when I was a student at uni-Bonn...

I guess I'm sort of immune to the smell, my GC didn't smell very much like Gummi bears to me.

You're not alone, I've never felt that the smell of GC was like gummibears. But then again I've also never purposely smelled a gummibear either!

I have kids, so I've smelled gummi bears
I have GC, so I've smelled the nectar of the oils
They DON'T smell even remotely similar to my nose
Which one would I use in my engine....
