I would like to tell everyone and in no way am I connected with schaeffers oil. I am just an ordinary guy that fully owns his cars and wants to get maximun life out of them. I was a diehard royal purple fan for the longest time, The reason for that is because I have a dodge stealth 95 dohc which has a notorious lifter tick issue as well as it has alot of bottem end noise running 10w30 oil. My 02 dodge caravan also had alot of tapping upon startup, Anyway I have switched from conventional name brand oil to royal purple which is great oil, It has cut the lifter tick issue with my dodge stealth in half as well as the tick on my van. However it was still present somwhat on both engines. I switched to schaffers oil and the noise has disappeared! Not only has my engines started to run silent but they actually have a bit more pep and alittle more MPG! The stealth sounds like the day it was built and the van is silent as well, Not only that is cost less than Royal purple, I use the 7000 schaeffers oil. This oil is amazing! I hope this oil really catches on cause it does what it says! It puts royal purple to shame. My dodge stealth with 127k which had some blowby is now totally sealed back up. I have used many different name brand oils on this engine, Mobil 1, Penz, Quaker, Valvo, Royal, Redline and nothing has been better than schaeffers. Like I said I am in no way connect with this oil company I just want to thank them for putting out such a great product and I hope they will never change there formula ever! This will be the only oil I will ever use in any of my vehicles. Engine only though as I like to stick with the transmission spec fluid. I encourage anyone that has not used this oil to please give it a try, It is almost clear out of the bottle with a slight green hue to it. 2 oil changes so far and my stealth sounds brand new and has increased oil pressure! It's hard to find but worth the find. I found it on there web site and very few places sell it, Usually small small businesses sell it and they themselfs are diehard over it. I can see why. Thank you for letting me share.
Shaeffers! Never been happier!

I use #703 (10W-30) in my 2000 Tundra and I'm very pleased so far. Their #204S-AT is a fantastic ATF too. Don't be afraid to try it. Salesrep, our Schaeffers site sponsor, can offer you very good prices. Please direct your future orders through him and get the best deals possible on Schaeffers products.
+1 on the Schaeffer's stuff. Im running the 7000 5W20 and also #204SAT. The #204 killed some shudder I had with 25k mile factory fluid.
I am not surprised about your experiences. I have seen similar things and have been impressed with everything Schaeffers so far. The 2 companies that I am grateful to have found here on BITOG are Schaeffers and Auto-RX. Their products and integrity are truly outstanding.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I see you're from Florida. Do you know a guy named Bob?
Count me in amongst the Schaeffer fan club.

+1 on Schaeffer's being excellent!
I've run the 7000 5w30 with a maintenance dose of Auto-RX for a while, and it is truly superb! It's reduced a lifter tick in my engine noticeably.

Why? You have a very good developed motor oil with an additive package designed by them, with all of the moly you could ever use. Why would you want to dope up this fine oil? Just curious.
I would not add anything but ARX to Schaeffers as a maintenance dose only. Are you adding this to one of their starburst oils or HDEO?

I'll be using the 7000, doped with some ZDDP & extra moly, for my next OCI.
What are you adding to it?

I'll be adding Cam-Shield, just a little bit, to bosst the ZDDP to a level resembling something from the late 1980's. I must be feeling nostalgic...
Also going to use some of my VSOT stash for the moly. Do you really think you can have too much of a good thing?

--Almost forgot. I'll be adding a dash of ARX to what would have formerly qualified as an API (starburst) oil.

Sounds good. VSOT contain much Moly, or did they take that out just before dropping the product?

Moly is definitely in there, but exactly "how much" remains a question... I have both the 15oz. & 32oz. silver bottles of VSOT. Unfortunately, I do believe both represent a "dumbed down" formulation of what was in the original black bottled - professional version. For example, Boron was non-existent on my last UOA using the silver 15oz. bottle.

Toomanywheels, My dad is named bob, Bob strickland but thats it. The royal purple seemed to thin out to much when hot. Yeah this is great oil And i am going to be using there 80w-90 gear oil in my transmission soon, I have RP in there now and it is still not that old so I'll let in in there for awhile as I am not having any issues with shift quality. As far as the universal transmission fluid from scheaffers, I do know if I should try it in a ATF +4 transmission. This fluid and trans seem very Touchy when it comes to the formulation being on spec. Shudder and wear wise. I use Lucas stop slip in every transmission fluid change though.
I have a case of 12 quart bottles of Schaeffer's All-Trans ATF fluid that is going to be going into my 2002 V6 Ford Explorer as soon as I get around to it. The 5R55W trans takes Mercon V and it seems to me that Schaeffer's makes a good all synthetic Mercon V substitute.
