Description

Elf Evolution Pro-Tech 5W-40 is a synthetic oil developed with Renault for Renault and Dacia cars and the fleets built around them. It is intended for petrol and diesel engines that carry no low-ash oil requirement.

The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SN and CF; the data sheet lists no official carmaker approvals.

Typical figures: 14.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -36 °C, flash point 220 °C, base number 10 mg KOH/g. Because its ash content is conventional rather than reduced, it is unsuitable for engines that require a low-ash oil. Available in 1 and 5 litre packs.

Application

Renault and Dacia cars, including fleet vehicles, with petrol and diesel engines that do not require a low-ash oil.

Worth knowing

The joint development with Renault that TotalEnergies mentions is not in itself a Renault approval: neither the data sheet nor the Elf catalogue for the Ukrainian market gives any RN number for this oil, only the ACEA A3/B4, API SN and CF classes. A Renault or Dacia service book, by contrast, names a specific standard, such as RN0700, RN0710 or RN17, together with a viscosity. The article on telling an approval from a “meets the requirements” claim explains how a carmaker’s entry differs from the oil maker’s own wording.

In the catalogue, three Elf oils hold official RN0700 and RN0710 approvals at the same 5W-40 viscosity and A3/B4 class: Evolution 900 SXR 5W-40 and Evolution 900 FT 5W-40, both with API SP, and Evolution 900 NF 5W-40, which, like this one, has API SN and CF. Among the Elf 5W-40 oils, Evolution Full-Tech LSX and Sporti 9 C3 declare the C3 class, but both Renault numbers are recorded for them only as compliance, without approval.
