Description

Elf Moto 4 Racer 5W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil for four-stroke sports motorcycles, including high-revving track days. It flows quickly from a cold start and keeps the clutch plates gripping.

The oil is rated API SP and JASO MA2 and is registered with JASO; the data sheet lists no motorcycle manufacturer approvals.

Its frictional properties are tuned for quick gear changes. The oil is compatible with DLC-coated and ceramic composite engine parts, and resists oxidation. Typical figures: 13.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 169, pour point -39 °C. Available in 1, 4 and 20 litre packs.

Application

Four-stroke sports motorcycles, including high-revving track riding, where fast oil flow from a cold start and reliable clutch grip are needed.

Worth knowing

All of this oil’s typical figures are repeated in the data sheet of another oil in the same range, Elf Moto 4 Pro Tech 5W-40: density 851 kg/m³, 84 mm²/s at 40 °C, flash point 226 °C and the rest. Only the API class and the description of the base differ: Pro Tech has API SN instead of SP, and its data sheet speaks of synthetic technology, while the Racer’s speaks of a 100 % synthetic formula. If the motorcycle’s manual requires API SP, only the Racer of this pair fits.

The Racer data sheet gives JASO MA2 together with the registration code M033TEL300 and claims a level exceeding the requirements of the JASO T 903:2023 edition. Such a code is printed in the JASO panel on the can and can be checked against the JALOS register. How to read that panel and what the 2023 edition changed is covered separately. Scooter 4 Power 5W-40 matches the Racer in viscosity grade and API SP, but its JASO MB class is meant for scooters with a variator and a dry clutch, not for the wet clutch of a sports motorcycle.
