I havent been on here much since the summer thread locking binge, but I saw this on slickdeals and thought some people might be interested.

Act quick since SD has a much larger audience and it likely won't last.

Sold out real quick, it's temporarily out of stock it it'll still let you try to order.

Interesting that it is rated SP/SN+. I ordered some, thanks to the OP!

Thank you, ordered 1. Motor oil prices seem volatile the past month, but inflation keeps rising, so resisted ordering 99 cases of 3. Will highly consider using this in K46 transmissions.

Youre welcome. What would you use this in? Seems way too thick for my use cases. I don't really go above 10w30 or 0w40. My cars call for 5w20 or 5w30 but I don't mind running the two grades I mentioned.

I have a lot of old stuff, and have some 0w-20 I bought too much of to mix it with. It will find it's way into something!

+1
My Honda is spec'd for 0w20.
Since that's too thin for my liking, I've found a perfect viscosity by blending it 1/2 with 15w40/20w50.
Considering my operating temps are above 32F year-round, there's nothing to worry about.

I use oil like this to top off customers cars that leak/burn a lot.

And as said add this to some thinner oils that may have been on sale, like 5w20, to bring it closer to a 30 weight.

Truth. Traffic is way down but it's not like this subforum ever had high traffic so it seemed a bit like setting up a speed trap on a sleepy side street.

Whatever, it's not my party so I can't cry if I want to.....

Also I may now be cancelled and shadow-banned.....so it was nice knowing you all

Took over a month but my 3 pack showed up

 

[Gunnar#1]

I use it in motorcycles, most spec a 10-40 but in hopper weather recommended a 20-50.

My 3 pack of 20W50 showed up a couple weeks ago. It does indeed claim SP compliance.

Great for our tired '87 302, '89 Chevy 350 and '98 Dodge 360. I also use some in the wife's 3V 5.4 to offset failing tensioner seals

This. A lot of fellow Harley riders I ride with use this. Most used Havoline 20W-50 but can’t seem to find it anymore. They all switched to the Castrol 20W-50. Some of these guys have well over 100K on their bikes. Nothing wrong with this oil.
