Description

Elf Moto 2 Race is a fully synthetic ester-based oil for the two-stroke engines of sports scooters and mopeds, including those used in amateur racing.

Neither the catalogue nor the data sheet lists API or JASO classes, and there are no machine manufacturer approvals either.

Detergent additives keep cylinder ports and piston ring grooves clean, preventing ring sticking and scuffing. The oil is not pre-diluted, so it is mixed with fuel in advance. Typical figures: 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C and 101 mm²/s at 40 °C, pour point -48 °C, flash point 270 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.

Application

Sports scooters, mopeds and amateur racing; the oil is not pre-diluted and is mixed with fuel at the ratio set by the machine's manufacturer or tuner.

Worth knowing

In the Elf Moto 2 line this is the only oil for which the data sheet names no class at all: the others have at least API TC and JASO FB or FD. So it formally confirms no JASO class or ISO-L-EGD that a scooter or moped manual may require. The closest in composition and purpose is Moto 2 Tech: also a 100 % synthetic ester-based oil for scooters and mopeds, but with API TC, JASO FD and ISO-L-EGD and noticeably thinner, 11 mm²/s at 100 °C against 14.1 mm²/s.

They are used differently, too. Tech is pre-diluted for separate lubrication and premixing, while the application section of the Race data sheet says the oil is undiluted and is to be mixed with the fuel. At the same time, the general recommendations paragraph, identical to those in the Off Road, Racing and Tech data sheets, also mentions engines with a separate lubrication system, so the data sheet gives no clear answer on a separate oil tank. How a premix differs from a separate tank, and why the word “synthetic” on the label is no substitute for a class, is covered in the article on two-stroke oils.
