Schaeffer teamed up with Ranken Technical College to find out how a customer's million miles Ford 5.4L gasoline engine looks after running exclusively on Schaeffer Oil.
The experts were shocked to see the condition of this workhorse. Even the engine's main bearings still had the manufacturer's original numbers inked on them.
Key's Drilling and Pump has been in business since the 1970's. This is a family owned business dedicated to providing Southern New Mexico and Texas with man's most basic need, water! While using conventional motor oils, Key's was changing the oil in their drilling rigs every 250 hours. Upon switching to Schaeffer's Supreme 7000 15W-40, using oil analysis, they now service their rigs at 500 hours. Carefully working me, we ran a CAT C-15 600hp engine 750 hrs to prove Schaeffer's durability! Some of you know, but just in case you don't...these drilling rigs are generally operating at full capacity with rpm's riding from 1900-2100. The workload on these motors is much more demanding than most trucking operations. Yet, even in the most extreme conditions, Schaeffer's was fully protecting that motor after 750 hrs! The oil analysis was perfect and recommended extending the service interval!

Tom is a certified crop advisor and ag-chemical and seed dealer who is always looking for ways to help his customers. On the same day that he planted his 188 acre soybean field, two of his customers who farm nearby had followed the same planting methods using the same number of seeds and had sprayed with Python and Valor but without the Wet-Sol 99. Their fields got hit with the same pounding rain that same night. In the past after such a rain Tom said parts of his field, especially the high spots, would get what looks like a sheet of concrete, due to crusting, that's hard to effectively break up even with a rotary hoe. This condition would normally make it very difficult for the bean seedlings to push through, resulting in fewer plants making it to harvest and reducing yield.
After a few warm sunny days, Tom checked his field and said you could easily push your finger through what he expected to be a tough soil surface crust! Tom estimated that 7.5 seeds per foot germinated, pushed through, grew and matured to harvest resulting in a full yield of 55 bushels per acre. Tom's two customers who hadn't used Wet-Sol 99 with their spray had to replant areas of their soybean fields. Tom saved not only on the cost of extra seed for replant, but also on the expensive fuel it would have taken, as well as his time. He is now telling others about the advantages of Wet-Sol 99.
