schaeffer oil?
Anyone ever tried this stuff? A guy at work used to race dirt tracks and said that a few of the people he knew were using Schaeffers oil in their engines. He said a bunch of people switched after a little dyno test they saw. A race engine was run on the dyno and it had Mobil 1 synthetic in it. They drained it, filled it with Schaeffers, redid the dyno and got 6hp gain.
I went to SchaefferOil.com and looked, then called them and they said the Supreme 7000 #701 is what I should use. My main concern is that it does not mention meeting GM4718 or whatever our spec is. Anyone have any insight?
Thanks in adance, Jake.

:confused: Nope. The only Schaeffers I know of is a brand of beer sold up in the northeast part of the country. :cheers:

Yep - and not a very good beer. It's primarily used for hazing :U

I've never tried it, but it gets plenty of play on the bobistheoilguy forum http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi and is very well regarded there.

Racing oil will not meet the api requirement because it has more zinc than regular oil. Not sure about Schaeffer. I know I'm in the wrong area. I was just lurking. :D

Re: schaeffer oil? (poppy)
vettenuts, i talked to them and they said i could by it by the case (6) at $42 but they have distributers and they said i could probably get it $5-10 cheaper through them.
poppy, your welcome to be in this area anytime, but if it would make you feel better, my red 99 is for sale :yesnod: :lol:
for the price, and if the stories i have heard are true, it is a no brainer, i just want to know that it meets the gm spec 4718 (or whatever) or that the gm spec really doesn't mean shiznit

Re: schaeffer oil? (CPT Z06)
I would contact them directly about the GM specification. Also, contact PATMAN on the LS-1 forum, he frequents both and is knowledgable on our motor.
