Andy's Auto Repair & Welding, Grinnell, IA

Andy's Auto is a full service repair shop, Schaeffer's Extend-It oil change center and a Schaeffer Retailer. Adam Underwood, mechanic at Andy's Auto, has a daily commute of 70 miles round trip. He drives a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with a supercharged 3.8L engine. Adam switched his engine oil from Mobil 1 to Schaeffer's #9003 Supreme 9000® Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-30 and through oil analysis went from oil changes every 5,000 miles to oil changes every 12,500. He also adds a can of #131 Neutra™ Fuel Stabilizer to the gas tank when changing the oil. Adam's fuel mileage has improved from 21 to 23.5 mpg since switching to Schaeffer's.

Adam says, "Saving time is great, and like most mechanics, I don't want to spend my time servicing my own car at the end of the day. The real savings comes from the fuel mileage improvement. Since switching to Schaeffer's, Adam is saving 63 gallons of gas for every 12,500 miles he drives. With gas at $3.19 gallon, that puts around $200 back in Adam's pocket, plus he's spending less on oil and filters.

The crew at Andy's Auto recommends Schaeffer's Extend-It oil changes and #131 Neutra™ Fuel Stabilizer to all their customers. Andy says, "Our customers are happy with longer drain intervals and better mileage". Adam and Andy use Schaeffer's in all their own vehicles, and in the winter they notice how their cars start easier and run smoother.
