Default Schaeffer Oil

What is the word on Schaeffer oil? Is there anyone running this and why? I am going to have some work done on my glide and they suggest it, what are your thoughts?

My local Indy just started caring it. $5 a qt cheaper then the Amsoil that they sell there. I've had good luck with the Amsoil but I think most all of them are good oils now.

I run Schaeffer in my 2012 SG. My cousins the rep in Boise,Idaho with Schaeffer for 25 years. Schaeffer motorcycle 20-50 is a syn-blend. I has additive package that's make it the most slicked stuff I ever seen. They do a bearing on race turning test. Which you apply press with a handle with the oil of your choice. It beat them all. I was huge Mobil 1 fan tell I saw this. We try Amsoil, Syn 3, Castro, Schaeffer won. In the trans fluid test we found one equal in was Red Line. Red line got beat in the motor oil bad though. Now my bike in the motor is Schaeffer, trans is Redline and Red line in primary. My truck & Jeep is Schaffer. The local Harley shop sell Schaeffer or Syn3. I think you can see the bearing test on You-Tube.

Ran it in my BMW for an oil change. Didn't notice any difference.
