Nothing but love here. I've been using for 30 plus years. Back in the day to get free shipping you had to spend $300.
That was 7 cases of 15-40 Supreme 7000.

They have great products. And their greases are some of the best you can find.
The issue typically was cost of shipping, unless you bought by the pallet. They do offer some product on Amazon, fwiw.
I’d use any of their products with full confidence. If you were remotely near a distributor I’d definitely try to get their products. If not it can be a challenge to get stuff cost effectively.

Have used Schaeffer gear oil - not the motor oil …
It’s just not handy to grab - and not doing extended …

Schaeffers or a Schaeffer’s rep was the original Bob that started this forum. They definitely deserve more love here.
In what ways is the oil superior to other oils such that it deserves more love?
Why should I buy it over what I'm buying now?

Where do you buy it ? Never seen it in any stores. If the only way to buy it is to find a local "distributor" who you then have to contact to find what stores they sell it (be it the small, independent parts shops or in bulk to garages), no thanks....
In my area, they says I can buy it at a Line-X dealer, used car dealers, etc.
i cannot get it. where is it? is it a bargain?

Limited availability, little advertising, and it became unknown to fresh eyes.
To the new crowd if it isn't sold at Walmart it doesn't exist.

Because they're expensive, and unlike the other brands mentioned, their products don't distinguish themselves in any meaningful way.
For the same reasons others buy the other special oils.....

That question could be asked of anything.
And as you know, objective results are extremely challenging to come up with, for any product and use scenario. As a long time user, you should know that.
Doesn’t mean the objective question is invalid, it’s just not something that will be easily answered.
Some folks would argue that their use of Sb, and potentially in the past, their moly uses were unique. Even today, certain products like their 219 moly grease that can be used in bearings, even though typical moly grease is frowned upon, indicates differences in formulation, and intentional blending and lubricant design.
Not sure if any Schaffer’s folks are on here anymore to discuss.
It is interesting that often the same people on here who state any oil meeting specs/approvals will work fine, will also say oils like HPL use better base oils/additives. So this should make it or others like Amsoil superior/better oils shouldn't it?
Or are you saying these boutique oils are all hype and no substance?
Is Schaefer oil a boutique brand? I always saw it as some brand that was popular with the OTR crowd, and they also sold PCMO.

I've always liked their fuel additives such as Neutra 131 and SoyUltra 131C, but never got into their oils for my needs. There used to be a salesrep on the board, although they're much less active than Pablo.
Availability.
I've heard great things about it, but have never seen it in person.

Well for its price point and small footprint in the lubrication world compared to other major players, I would consider it a boutique oil.
Maybe others here see that differently of course.
