Schaeffer's Container Size/Price

Tim · Jul 17, 2004

Anyone know why Schaeffer's doesn't sell the S-7000 15W-40 in gallon or 2.5 gallon jugs at a discounted price?

15W-40 is popular with the "large sump crowd" and I bet they'd sell a lot more of this stuff if you could get it for say $10.50 - $11.00/gallon if bought @ 2 2.5 gallon jugs in a case.

How many PSD/CTD guys are cracking open 15 1-quart bottles to fill their engines

Seriously, this seems like odd marketing - sticking with only 1-quart bottles...or is it just me?

Well you could buy a 55 gallon drum and put a spigot on it.

If I had that much oil on hand, I'd probably be changing my oil even more often, just because I "wouldn't want it to go bad". Defeats my economics

edit: BTW, how does one get it for $3/qt? Schaeffer's website says $4.50/qt...that must be list?

Tim,

On a $250 order, it works out roughly $3 a quart. I do agree, it is a pain to pour 13-15 quarts, but good oil. The diesels love it.

Go here for info on Schaeffer's:

How about considering a 5-Gal. pail or 20 quarts?

I guess the original question got lost as far as being "discounted".

I do purchase the 15w-40 in gallons...

Aha! Now we are getting somewhere. I was just ignorant!

Can you email me with pricing (including at the critical $250+ level) for these 6 one-gallon cases, 5 gallon pails, etc? 4 1-gallon cases of Soy Shield, too?

thanks,

Tim

Micron Moly gasoline engine oil or Moly Bond diesel engine oil, both all petroleum, or the Supreme 7000 synthetic blend?

All are excellent and the dino oil is likely better than a cheap synthetic, but the Supreme 7000 is even better. I'm on my 2nd change of Supreme 7000 15W-40 in my 114,000 mile Volvo. The engine has never run smoother and I'm beginning to see the moly plating on certain areas on the cam surfaces (visible through the oil filler) that evidently are subject to high contact forces. The turbocharger boost gauge also seems to move more quickly. (No, not only two oil changes in 114k!)
