Exxon Superflo 20W-50

[thatgirljojo]

Hi all, new to this site. Wasn't really sure where to post this so figured I would start here.

What would you do if you were gifted 18 cases of Exxon Superflo 20W-50 ? I believe it's from 2006. Is it good? Not good? Please be nice lol.

I wouldn't have accepted it myself. I'd sell it dirt cheap on Facebook marketplace. $50 gets all. Use a text app like Text Free instead of your real phone number.

Where are you located?

If I had all that 20w50 in my shed, all my outdoor power equipment would have really clean oil all the time.

That was my favorite back then. I'd run it in my jeep.

Ha! I am hoping it will be useful but I'm also managing my expectations.

I think my dad used it for an old H1 but I'm just guessing. He had a lot of vehicles but the timeframe fits.

That oil would be fine for an older vehicle.

I was trying to check that out. Looks like 2006 was when the Superflo brand was being phased out. Also, it looks like it’s conventional rather than Synthetic and it’s not a Heavy Duty Engine Oil ( HDEO) made for Diesels. However, many of the good people of Las Vegas would like this for their oil burning work trucks. I’d put it out there for $12 per case. (Keep the math simple), then maybe someone might offer $10 per case. I can image this going into a Ford F-250 with a 460 and a cement encrusted wheelbarrel in back.

Thats 54 gallons. There are a few uses for 20w50, including K46 transmissions, OPE anything. Keep a few cases a sell the rest. Good luck.

 

[Dave Hess]

Yes, that oil is still good.

I'd mix it with whatever thin oil I had in my stash and run it until the end of time.

$5 to the first owner of a new Toyota who pours this stuff in the crankcase instead of 0W8/0W16, for at least 3000 miles.
I'll even pay for a VOA and UOA on that.

It's SM I'd have no problems running it in an older vehicle or even lawnmowers... just shake the bottle before use.

It would be fine as long as the winter rating is appropriate. The spectrographic analysis wouldn’t show anything of importance.

Correct. I'm just fishing for some entertainment.
I think it would be fun to see someone do it, considering how hard it is for some here to move from 0W16 to a thick 0W20 due to availability or whatever... I think those folks would have a heart attack from seeing a 20W50 being ran in such engine.

That oil used to be dirt cheap at Autozone.

 

[02zx9r rev2]

I ran the 10w40 and 20w50 in my Ninja zx9r.
Maybe find a motorcycle club see if they want it cheap. Or like another poster said, substitute one quart every oil change but would take forever

 

[eljefino]

That would be a great motorcycle oil, or for someone with a 60's hotrod who wants "more zinc" in the earlier formulations.
