This SAE 20W-50 multigrade, semi-synthetic oil is recommended for all Teledyne Continental and Textron Lycoming engines.

Exxon Aviation Oil Elite 20W-50 oil contains the anti-wear / anti-scuffing additives required for some Lycoming engines.

Exxon Elite is a blend of synthetic and mineral-based oils (plus a highly effective additive package). Why a semi-synthetic? Our engineers determined that a fully synthetic oil may not have the solvency to handle the lead deposits that result from the use of leaded fuel. So they developed Exxon Elite as a semi-synthetic formulation that combines the best of both synthetics and conventional oils.

As a multigrade oil, it offers the flexibility to lubricate effectively over a wider range of temperatures than monograde oils. Compared to a monograde oil, a multigrade oil provides better cold-start protection and a stronger lubricant film at typical operating temperatures. Other benefits include lower oil consumption and better fuel economy. As a premium multigrade oil, Exxon Elite has all of these intrinsic advantages.
