Description

Elf Evolution R-Tech Elite FE 0W-20 is a fully synthetic fuel-economy oil for Renault, Dacia and Alpine engines that require the RN17 FE standard.

It is rated ACEA C5 and holds the official Renault RN17 FE approval. It is intended only for engines where the vehicle manufacturer permits 0W-20.

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

Application

Renault, Dacia and Alpine engines for which the manufacturer specifies RN17 FE.

Worth knowing

The data-sheet phrase saying the oil was developed for the requirements of Renault, Dacia and Alpine engines is repeated word for word in the data sheets of R-Tech FE 5W-30 and R-Tech Sport 0W-40, so it does not narrow down the range of engines. What does narrow it down are the ACEA C5 class and the RN17 FE approval. The other oils in the line, except the 0W-16, are in classes C3 or C4, and according to the article on HTHS limits in ACEA classes C3, C4 and C5, these high-temperature viscosity ranges do not overlap: in C5 from 2.6 to 2.9 mPa·s, in C3 and C4 not below 3.5 mPa·s. So neither the line’s 5W-30 nor its 0W-40 can stand in for this oil, or vice versa. The data sheet gives no HTHS value of its own.

Class C5, the RN17 FE approval and the same data-sheet figures, including 8.3 mm²/s at 100 °C and a base number of 10.2 mg KOH/g, are also held by Elf Evolution Full-Tech R FE 0W-20 from the brand’s other line. In all, six oils from five brands in the catalogue hold the RN17 FE approval.
