Description

Elf Evolution R-Tech Sport 0W-40 is a fully synthetic low-ash oil for high-output Renault Sport and Alpine engines. It is also designed to cope with extreme operating temperatures.

The oil is rated ACEA C3 and holds the official Renault RN17 RSA approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: 15.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 191, flash point 238 °C, base number 7.9 mg KOH/g, density 842 kg/m³. Available in 1, 5 and 208 litre packs.

Application

High-output Renault Sport and Alpine engines that call for RN17 RSA, including operation at extreme temperatures.

Worth knowing

Renault specifies RN17 RSA for, among others, the 1.8 Turbo engine in the Megane IV R.S., and an RN17 oil is no substitute; that is how the article on how Renault separates RN17, RN17 RSA and its other standards describes it. The word Sport in the name does not mean the oil suits every “hot” Renault. For older RS models, such as the Clio III and IV RS or the Megane II RS, Renault’s table in the same article still specifies a 5W-40 with RN0710, and this oil’s entry has neither that viscosity nor that standard. The service book shows which oil is specified for your particular car.

Among the oils of the Elf Evolution R-Tech line, only this one holds the RN17 RSA approval. Its ACEA C3 class is shared with R-Tech FE 5W-30 and R-Tech Elite 5W-30, but the first is approved to RN0720 and the second to RN17, so the same class on the can does not make a 5W-30 a substitute where the service book requires RSA.
