I need some Schaeffers ATF fluid, so I'm going to place the "big direct order" from Schaeffers. Basically I'm ordering my ATF fluid, and I'm going to order oil to round up the order to the correct amount.
While trying to decide between the 5W30 and 10W30 (#701 & #703) I was reading some posts. In there it was saying that the #701 was groupIII and the 10W30 was GroupII. On the 'new' Schaeffers site, the 5W30 is showing up as "solvent refined, severely raffinate hydroconverted Group II Plus100% paraffin base oils and polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluid". Same pour point, etc.
Which is better in light of this? You would think that if the 701 was indeed GroupIII that they would have changed this info by now? I'm in Richmond, VA so either oil is fine from a temperature perspective. I'm wondering which to run year-round. also, if you're in RIC or thereabouts & want in on the order, let me know.
Thanks everyone!
