First let me state I think Schaeffer's is an excellent product and the iron numbers are not all that high. I believe buster said something about the high limit being around 150 ppm, but on big rigs I've actually seen iron readings approaching 175 ppm and the report came back as okay.

I do have a question about three of the readings on this report, the moly, phos, zinc, and calcium. Looks like the oil is making additives as it's being used.

Now everyone take a deep breath so we can all get along. These are both very good site sponsors.

This is a sample from one of my garage owners customers he services. He doesn't buy 9003, so thats out.
I agree Johnny, the rise is curious.
HEY Schaeffers new formulas actually create additives as they go.

Now wouldn't that be cool.
Perhaps he added a quart near the drain interval, though not likely.

He must be, the Amsoil reps are some of the most loquatious members we have...and I wouldn't call either of them laid back.
