Description

Elf Evolution Full-Tech R FE 0W-20 is a synthetic engine oil for Renault and Dacia engines that require the RN17 FE standard. It is compatible with modern exhaust after-treatment: diesel and petrol particulate filters, SCR systems and NOx traps.

The oil is rated ACEA C5 and holds official Renault RN17 FE approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: 8.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 169, flash point 232 °C, base number 10.2 mg KOH/g. In the M111 FE test, the data sheet quotes a fuel saving of 3.33 %. Available in 1, 5, 20 and 208 litre packs.

Application

Renault and Dacia engines whose manufacturer requires an RN17 FE oil, including those with modern exhaust after-treatment (DPF, GPF, SCR, NOx trap).

Worth knowing

The only approval in this oil’s entry, Renault RN17 FE, stands apart from the rest of the brand’s standards. The article why RN17 FE does not replace other Renault standards describes it as a 0W-20 based on ACEA C5, with HTHS from 2.6 to 2.9 mPa·s, and stresses that it is not backward compatible with RN0700, RN0710, RN0720, RN17 or RN17 RSA. An engine whose service book names one of these standards should not get this oil. The names themselves add to the confusion: Renault’s table shows the 1.0 TCe, 1.3 TCe and 1.5 Blue dCi families with RN17, while makers of RN17 FE oils list those same families for their 0W-20 too, depending on the car and year.

The neighbouring 0W-20 oils of the same range (APX, PCX FE, VCX, VSX) are also C5, but none of them carries RN17 FE. Elf Evolution R-Tech Elite FE 0W-20 matches R FE in its codes and in all six data-sheet figures in the entry, from kinematic viscosity at 40 °C to density. Oils officially approved to this standard, other brands included, are listed on the Renault RN17 FE page.
