    30 Gallons of Mobil 1 Synthetic 20w50

    I have a 55 gallon drum of Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 20w50 oil. There are 30 gallons remaining. It is clean, uncontaminated, and is not a currently produced oil (I'm not sure exactly how old it is). It is very high in additives that are good for our m20 and m50 engines (about 1400 ppm of zinc and phosphorus).

    I ran this in my m20 and my cammed m50, both engines ran great. My buddy ran it in his mk2 Golf and that ran great as well. Only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I ditched my m50 engine, and the m20 car has seen 1000 miles in the past 3 years. I'd rather clear out space in my garage. It comes with a heavy duty hand pump, and I'll include a few clean 5 qt jugs for measuring.

    I sent a sample to Blackstone for analysis, came back with very good results. They say it's a diesel oil.





    I posted these results at bobistheoilguy.com, and got very positive reactions about using it in any engine that calls for that viscosity... race, diesel, daily driver, anything. Some noted that it is the cleanest virgin oil analysis they've ever seen, even a brand new off the shelf bottle usually has more contaminants.

    I'm not looking to split this up. If you want 5 quarts, go to Wal Mart. If you want 30 gallons, come pick up this drum. And yes, you need to come pick it up, I'm not going to ship it. I can possibly arrange delivery within 50 miles or so, PM me if you're serious.




    Price: $450, picked up in Ephrata PA.

    That's $3.75/qt for Mobil 1 full synthetic 20w50 with an additive package better then what is currently available in stores. A 55 gallon drum of 15w50 from Mobil 1 is $2,000.

    Wow, this is awesome. I could sure use that, considering I have the E30 and about 5 Mk2s that all run 20w-50. Terrific deal too, but I don't have $450 laying about to spend on 30 gallons of oil Just the same, this is great! haha

        On second thought, my dad says he'll split it with me. We're interested. I'm in the Quakertown area.

          Sooo, it's been brought to my attention that 20w50 actually is an OK oil for use in the m60 engine, which means I'll be needing this oil... Looks like I jumped the gun on the for sale ad.

          Let me do some more research, but I may end up holding on to this.

          Sorry guys, hope I didn't waste anyone's time. :(
