These are the specs...

SAE: 20W-50
API: SJ
Viscosity @ 40°C: 128.6
Viscosity @ 100°C: 12.3
VI: 142
Flash point: 232°C
Pour point: -50°C
Sulphated Ash: 1.35%
TBN: 11.5

Oil is paraffinic base.

That's all I have. Oil also meets mil spec MIL-L-46152B (whatever that is) and VW 501.01/505.00

Any comments?

Something is wrong. At 12.3cst it's not 50wt oil, it's 30wt! Did you type the wrong number? Maybe you meant to type 17.3?
 
Patman: I picked that up too. No it wasn't a typo and I shot the company an e-mail to see if they can clarify.
 
It doesn't sound possible to have a 20w50 oil that is non synthetic, having that low of a pour point either.
