Other than the TBN being so low, an excellent report!

As Patman said it sure looks like the Schaeffers is a very good oil out to 7L. I have it in my 2L Sentra and plan on an analysis at about 6 to 7 K miles. I hav seen enough Schaeffer Reports to see that will be acceptable

Will have a UOA on the infamous Xterra in about 1K. The more good reports I see in a variety of vehicles only goes to support my feeling that this is one he!!uva an oil for the money

.

I plan to keep on using Schaeffers. It is doing better or the same as Mobil 1 for less cost. Might be able to stretch Mobil 1 out for a few more miles but the cost is a lot more. I have 2 co-workers buying this oil now, so it is easier to do the $250 order.

Another 3800 owner running Schaeffer's 10w30! This was the UAO I was looking for. I recently made the switch from Amsoil series 2000 to Schaeffer's #703. So far, so good!

I'll have a UOA on my '97 Grand Prix GT soon. It will have a little over 100k on it when the next oil change happens.

BTW, if you're interested in doing some performance mods to the Impala, get a hold of me.

My GT runs high 14s with no power adders, and minimal internal mods.
