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.
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.
When company owner Tim Thompson's 2005 John Deere 544J Wheeled Loader began experiencing problems with its mast, Tim disassembled the mast assembly for repairs. It was the first time it had been removed since leaving the factory where it was assembled.
In the process, Tim and his crew were able to inspect the pins and bushings in order to evaluate the performance of Schaeffer's grease. What they saw was almost too good to be true: the factory original pins and bushings--with over 23,000 hours on them--showed almost no signs of wear.
Urfer Trucking changes oil in their trucks every 60,000 miles. This million mile diesel engine teardown features a 550 horsepower C-15 Caterpillar diesel engine with 1,055,000 miles and all original parts. Schaeffer's Supreme 7000 diesel oil was the only oil used.
The cleanliness and minimal wear on this engine is a great example of the high-quality base oil and detergency of Schaeffer Oil. Watch the video to see the full teardown.
