That's be a heck of a lot of oil. You may want to check for accumulated small animals. ;)
Seriously, though, this seems far enough off that I'd wonder whether the listing is really for that bag.  Or whether there's a unit interpretation error.  Pounds-kilos would be hard-pressed to give an 18 oz error for a 20 degree bag, but 3 15 as 3 lb 15 oz instead of 3.15 lb, for instance, gets you much of the way there.
Best,
Bill S.

I have a TNF down 20 degree bag("Orion") about 15 years old. Have washed it twice, most recently 3-4 months ago. Curious, I weighed it and found it was about 18 ounces heavier than the original, listed weight; this was the first time I had ever weighed it. I have always worn clothes while using it.Thinking it might be moisture, I put it in a dryer it a week ago for about 45 minutes; the weight was unchanged. Can't quite figure this out.
