Why Phillips 66 Victory 20w-50 Can Fill the AeroShell 15w-50 Gap
We understand the challenge in getting AeroShell 15w50 lately – it's been a common headache for many. Have you considered using Phillips 66 Victory 20w-50 instead?

Phillips 66 Victory 20w-50:

• is a multi-viscosity piston engine oil that meets all the same specifications as Aeroshell 15w-50
• is the same viscosity at operating temperature
• contains the Lycoming 16702 additive for anti-scuff/anti-wear which is mandated by Lycoming Service Bulletins 446E and 471B and Service Instruction 1409C.
• is formulated for year-round use in aircraft piston engines and was developed by Phillips 66 as a direct replacement for Exxon Elite 20w50 back in 2019.

Phillips 66 Victory 20w-50 is a suitable replacement for AeroShell 15w-50 as well as Commercial Grade 65, 80 or 100 single grade oils.
