Elf Evolution 700 STI 10W-40

Description

Elf Evolution 700 STI 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil for petrol and diesel passenger car engines. Its main target is direct-injection diesels, with or without Common Rail, that run under heavy thermal stress.

The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4, API SN and API CF and holds official Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, VW 501.01, VW 505.00 and Stellantis FPW9.55535/04 approvals. It meets the requirements of MB 229.3 without official approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: 14.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 155, pour point -36 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 208 litres.

As a full-ash oil, it is unsuitable for engines with a particulate filter that require a low-ash oil.

Application

Cars with petrol and diesel engines, above all direct-injection diesels, including Common Rail units, running under high thermal load.

Worth knowing

Of the Evolution 700 oils, only the STI holds the Stellantis FPW9.55535/04 approval: Turbo Diesel 10W-40 and ST 15W-50 do not have this number, and Elf Sporti 7 A3/B4 10W-40, with the same set of classes, lists PSA B71 2294 and PSA B71 2300 only as meeting the requirements. In the STI data sheet, under the Stellantis number there is a separate “Backward compatible” line with older PSA and Fiat codes, which this approval covers.

The /04 number in the Stellantis system corresponds to a 10W-40 oil at ACEA A3/B4 level. Why this compatibility works in one direction only, and which B71 codes stand behind it, is explained in the article on which oil the PSA B71 and FPW 9.55535 codes ask for in a Peugeot or Citroën. The status of the other numbers also sets this oil apart from the Sporti 7: Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 are official approvals here but only claimed for the Sporti 7, while both oils have MB 229.3 only as a statement of compliance.
