This is what myself (for 12 years) and all my friends are using it and having very good results. Just thought i would post the tech sheet on the Supreme 7000 (10W30) I think you ALL should take a good look at the Schaeffer's and ask others that are using it to post their thoughts. AND PLEASE don't take this as a sells pitch. (note that this tech sheet does not show that it's an SL but it is! Printed on each container.
Supreme 7000 SAE 10W-30 is a premium quality multi-grade synthetic blend engine oil that is specially formulated to reduce friction and wear, increase engine efficiency and extend engine life in all types of gasoline engines.
Supreme 7000 SAE 10W-30 is blended from the finest quality solvent refined, severely hydro-finished 100% paraffin base oils and polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluids available. This unique combination provides Supreme 7000 SAE 10W-30 with the following advantages:
1. Superior Cold Weather Startability and Operating Characteristics. This results in less friction and lubricant drag in the engine and instant lubrication during cold weather start up.
2. Superior Oxidative Stability. Any oil as it is increasingly exposed to high temperature operation undergoes the process of oxidation. This results in the oils thickening and the buildup of acidic components. Because of the PAO’s and 100% paraffin base oil’s uniform molecular structure, the process of oxidation is greatly reduced.
3. Excellent Resistance to Thermal Degradation.
4. Lower Volatility. This results in reduced oil consumption.
5. Lower Pour Point and Borderline Pumping Temperature.
6. A High Viscosity Index. This results in minimum change in viscosity. The adequate viscosity for the proper lubrication of the engine is provided regardless of temperature.
7. Excellent Film Strength. This results in increased protection against wear.
8. Compatibility with All Types of Seals.
9. Extended Oil Drain Capability and Intervals.
Blended into the 100% paraffin base stocks and polyalphaolefin base fluids is a highly specialized performance additive package and a highly shear stable viscosity index improver. This combination provides the Supreme 7000 SAE 10W-30 with the following performance benefits:
1. Outstanding protection against the formation of high temperature deposits.
2. Rapid circulation and excellent pumpability.
3. Excellent resistance to thinning at high temperatures.
4. Excellent shear stability in order to help the Supreme 7000 SAE 10W-30 to stay in grade over the oil drain’s interval.
5. Substantially reduced oil consumption.
6. Excellent high temperature/high shear performance to provide excellent oil film thickness and engine protection at high operating temperatures and shear rates, while minimizing lubricant frictional resistance.
7. High detergency to suppress deposits and contaminants.
8. A substantial reduction in ring and cylinder wear.
9. Reduced bearing wear and increased bearing life.
10. Excellent anti-corrosion and anti-wear properties.
11. Increased engine cleanliness.
12. Increased fuel economy benefits.
13. Superior valve train-wear protection.
14. Increased engine life.
15. Excellent anti-foaming properties.
Further blended into these 100% paraffin base oils and polyalphaolefin base fluids, the highly specialized performance additive package and shear stability viscosity index improver is a proven frictional modifier, Micron Moly®, a liquid soluble type of moly that plates to the metal surfaces of the engine. Once plated, the moly forms a long lasting lubricant film, which prevents the metal surfaces from coming into contact with each other. By preventing metal-to-metal contact, damaging frictional wear is eliminated, thus leading to less downtime and longer engine life.
Supreme 7000 SAE 10W-30 meets and exceeds the following specifications and manufacturers’ requirements: MIL-46152E, CID A-A-52039B, API Service Classification SJ, Energy Conserving, ILSAC GF-1 & GF-2, Ford M2C153-G, General Motors 6094M and 4718M, ACEA A1-98, A2-96 Issue 2, A3-96; Daimler Chrysler 229.1, 229.3, MS6395F; JASO M328-95, M331-84, M336-93, Volkswagen 500.00, 501.01, 502.00
