Schaeffer Oils anyone

neilw · Aug 10, 2002

Any TBNers have experience with Schaeffer's lubrication products. I've been looking at the typical numbers for several products.

Specifically the 15w-40 Supreme blend diesel rated oil and the Simplex Supreme synthetic blend universal tractor hydraulic/transmission oil. The numbers rival full synthetics and the costs are good too. 15w-40 $11.00 /gallon and hydro $10.00/gallon plus delivery.

What do you think?

I'm interested. I hope to hear more. I never heard of Schaeffer Oil before, only Schaeffer Beer. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Do they have a website?

I use them, and have been pleased so far. I use the oil you mentioned in my Kubota as well as all of the bigger equipment, 2 N-14 Cummins, 2 855 Cummins and 1 L-10 Cummins. I have noticed better cold starts, more stable oil pressure when hot and a slight increase in idle speed on the Kubota. I have just started using the soy fuel treatment so don't know how that is performing yet, I will start using their grease and hydro fluid soon.

I found Schaeffer's through one of the independent distributers website.
