Description

Elf Evolution 900 FT 5W-40 is a synthetic, full-ash engine oil for petrol and diesel passenger car engines. It is designed for year-round use, severe conditions and sustained high-speed driving.

The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SP and holds official MB 229.5, MB 226.5, PSA B71 2296, Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 approvals. It meets the requirements of Chrysler MS-12991 and Fiat 9.55535-M2 without official approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: 14 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 166, pour point -36 °C. Available in 1, 5 and 208 litre packs. The manufacturer highlights timing-chain wear protection and oxidation resistance.

Application

Cars with petrol and diesel engines in every season, including severe operating conditions and high-speed driving.

Worth knowing

Elf Evolution 900 SXR 5W-40 has almost the same set of codes: the same viscosity, ACEA A3/B4 and API SP, and shared MB 229.5, Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 approvals. The two oils differ in their Mercedes, Fiat and Peugeot standards. MB 226.5 is an official approval for FT but appears for SXR only as meeting the requirements, and compliance with Fiat 9.55535-M2 is claimed for FT alone. For Peugeot and Citroën, FT has PSA B71 2296, while SXR has Stellantis FPW9.55535/10. The article on what the B71 and FPW codes on Peugeot and Citroën cans mean says that the /10 number covers B71 2296, and describes compatibility with the earlier codes as one-way: an oil with /10 will do where 2296 is specified, but an oil with only B71 2296 will not do where FPW9.55535/10 is required.

Another oil of the same viscosity, Elf Sporti 9 5W-40, claims only compliance with the Renault RN0700, RN0710, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 standards, and its entry lists MB 229.3 instead of MB 229.5.
