Switch over to Schaeffer's completed

I just completed an oil change on my truck this afternoon. It is about 30 degrees here today and I can already tell that the truck runs smoother and quiter when cold. I just have one question. Does Schaeffer's have an oil analyzation lab that I can send some oil into at 10k miles?

Yes they do. It is cheaper than Blackstone, but I have heard that it takes a bit longer to get the results.

Congrats! I'm 8k out from swapping over.

They do have a lab. It's 6 tests for $54. My rep has them.

I get some tomorrow.. If you want I could send you a bottle. It's prepaid.. just put ur oil in and ship it.. then I could e-mail you results. It would be $9 + shipping($3?)

Also, my guy says to get oil from the middle.. I.E. let it drain a little, then when it's about half done.. fill ur sample bottle

Hope this helps.

Andrew

Thanks for the offer but I am going to wait until I get closer to the oil change. I will end up loosing the bottle if I get it know. Thanks though.

PM either White Buffalo, JTharvey, or jrcii, al of whom are reps. I'm sure they know how to land some stickers.

BTW... welcome to the GOC.... "Green Oil Club.

Glad to hear of positive results!

The lab results do take a little longer to come back, but only by a few days. Typically, mine come back in roughly a week or so.

I have to agree, this is great stuff. I swapped dad's 6.0 over to Schaeffer last week. Pap, not being one for mods is really impressed with the way his truck has been starting. Thanks for all your help Jamie, your the Man!
