Description
Elf Evolution 700 ST 15W-50 is a semi-synthetic engine oil for petrol and diesel passenger car engines in town, on open roads and at motorway speeds. Its higher hot-viscosity grade keeps a strong oil film at high temperatures.
The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4, API SN and API CF and holds official VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 approvals. It meets the requirements of MB 229.1 without official approval.
Typical data-sheet figures: 18.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 147, pour point -30 °C. Available in 1, 4, 5 and 208 litre packs. The manufacturer credits it with strong detergency and resistance to black sludge.
Application
Cars with petrol and diesel engines in town, out-of-town and motorway driving.
Worth knowing
The second figure in the name is 50 here, and among the Evolution 700 oils only this one has that grade. Its 18.7 mm²/s at 100 °C lies within the SAE 50 range, from 16.3 to less than 21.9 mm²/s, whereas the 14.3 and 14.81 mm²/s of the 10W-40 STI and Turbo Diesel correspond to grade 40. The cold part of the designation differs too: for 15W the table of SAE viscosity values sets the cranking limit at -20 °C, for 10W at -25 °C.
The list of approvals for the 15W-50 is shorter. It shares the official VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 with its 10W-40 neighbours, but Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710 and MB 229.3 are recorded in the range only for the STI and Turbo Diesel, and Stellantis FPW9.55535/04 only for the STI; of the Mercedes numbers it has just one, MB 229.1. The Elf Evolution 700 range page shows all three side by side.
