Well I pulled my eng out to repair the head gaskets and some other issues I'm having. Thinking of switching to schaeffers oil. But not sure on a weight. Was thinking running the 9000 in 5w-40 or valvoline extreme blue 5w-40.

Suggestions? Other oils to use?


Thanks

We use the Schaeffers 9000 in our shop. Typically every service we do gets it. We run it in all of our personal trucks and equipment as well. Excellent oil would highly recommend it.

Definitely call Jimmy and talk to him for a minute. Even if you go with Schaeffers he is an oil knowledge guru. You'll have much great info to make your decision.

lincolnlocker, did you ever try the 8700? Just got some in my 6.0

The only part I don't like so far is the 8700 is honey colored not the "check me out red" I have grown to expect from le. Haha if that's my only issue I'd say I'll be alright.

Where's my sticker Jimmy?

Nah I couldn't feel bad. Jimmy has gone above and beyond helping me out. Super great dude, I gotta get out there and have some beers with him sometime.

The 5/30 was red, made me feel like I was pouring ATF in the crankcase.

Yeah I gotta double check the label on the buckets to make sure cause I'm running his ATF as well.

Oops. I mixed what I had left of my 8800 with my 8700. So I guess it does have a little red in it. Haha
