I dont think they do. Maybe in a euro formula but ive no knowledge of then
Nope, no 0W-30 from Schaeffer. Then again, Red Line is doing away with their API SN recipe too, so I guess that's a moot point.
I printed out the Technical Data Sheets for SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil for Schaeffer 9000 Series and Red Line High Performance Series.
I'm not going to type out all the data to compare since this software doesn't do charts. Remember, the published data is "typical" properties, without defined limits in most cases. In the one instance stated on Schaeffer's sheet, and in a VOA versus UOA analysis I've had done, the viscosity alone can vary +/- 10% from the "typical" value on the data sheet.
This said, Schaeffer 9000 appears similar to Red Line High Performance Motor Oil in 5W-30 EXCEPT:
Red Line has significantly lower NOACK (6) compared to Schaeffer (7.9), meaning Red Line evaporates less at any given temperature.
Red Line has significantly higher HTHS (3.7) compared to Schaeffer (3.32), meaning Red Line has higher film strength under load and operating temperature.
I suspect this is due to heavier use of polyol ester base oil (jet oil) in Red Line. It provides much higher thermal performance.
Interestingly, both oils have similar pour point temperatures, AND CCP viscosity @ -30C !!! They are also both heavily additized with soluble moly dry film lubricant to mitigate hemi tick liter roller and cam failure.
Schaeffer is cheaper right now by a dollar or two per quart.
End of report.
