I have tried this grease. I tested it against Schaeffers #238, Delo 5% heavy duty and Swepco 110 Shock grease. The Delo 5% held up best, the Delo is a lithium and generally regarded as less water resistant than aluminum complex, however against the Premalube the Delo was much better. My opinion...

The best tent I have ever had was a Coleman "Hooligan" the worst tent ever was a Kelty, second worst was a Eureka "Apex two" . The Hooligan is awesome for two people and their wares. We also have a two man Coleman tent for roadside camping, again really good luck , it is their Maxx line with...

So here we are a few years later and about 700 machine hours later. The Alco-EP-73 is proven to be an exceptional grease, we have not replaced one reel bearing, roller or wheel bearing since the winter of 2010. We normally inspect these bearings and find them to be in great condition. Previous...

Jim , we are good. I apologize if I was unfair to you. I did learn, that is for sure. Unfortunately, we cannot track fuel economy. I did learn for my own benefit however.

The TRC test is very accurate, I would assume. Based on the cost. It must be in a controlled environment.What other oil companies show a 1.9% improvement on this test? So, if the way we measure mpg is "fraught with inaccuracies on many levels" and you and "dnewton3" are so experienced and...

I feel most assume, not seeing any test results that the claim is based on other oils being of similar weight and description. Or of a product you would normally use for the given product they are claiming to be better than. Most reasonable people looking at a oil would not assume they are...

I have been lurking this website long enough to respect the comments made by "dnewton3, jim allen, mola kule , salesrep, and pablo. Schaeffer is confident enough to put it on their website and offer testimonials upon request. They have been around a while they did not stay around by peddling...

Direct from Schaeffer oil website: Saves Fuel What would a 3%-5% fuel savings mean to you? That's the average fuel savings gained from SUPREME 7000 in fleet tests. (Test results available upon request.) Friction not only causes wear, it also robs you of fuel economy. SUPREME 7000 fights...

We have tried the #711 in the machines that were running full synthetic we have not seen a difference in those machines there have been no top offs or other oil consumption. These are air cooled gas engines running at approximately 32-3600 rpms for 3-4 hours. One machine is a air cooled 23 hp...

The Schaeffers is about 4.00 dollars more per gallon , based on the last price sheet I had it may be a bit more now. They have been good to deal with and I get orders within a week. I extend some machines by 50 hours based on analysis I am comfortable with that. I know that I could go more but i...

I can get the Delo within 3 business days or that day if needed, but I need to pick it up, about 30 minute drive.

We have been using the 400LE for a while prior to that we used the Shell Rotella 10w30. We have tried using the Schaeffer #711 in a couple test machines and have had no issues and no noticeable differences. So my question is : is the synthetic blend in the Schaeffers an advantage over the...
