Description

Elf Moto 4 Rider 10W-40 is an engine oil for four-stroke motorcycles ridden every day in heavy traffic with frequent stops. It protects the wet clutch and works with all fuel types, including ethanol blends.

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

Friction on steel and aluminium clutch plates is stable, so gears change smoothly. Detergent-dispersant additives counter piston deposits. Typical figures: 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C and 95 mm²/s at 40 °C, flash point 229 °C. Available in 1 and 4 litre packs.

Application

Four-stroke motorcycles with wet clutches ridden daily in heavy traffic with frequent stops; the oil is compatible with ethanol-containing fuel.

Worth knowing

The JASO panel in this oil’s data sheet contains the code M033TEL101, and in the list of oils submitted to the JASO committee that code is recorded for Elf Moto 4 Rider 10W-40, class MA2. It is worth searching the list by code rather than by name: many motorcycle oils with similar names are listed there under the same supplier. The data sheet also claims a level above the requirements of JASO T 903:2023. How to read the panel on the can, and why the MA2 class is declared by the supplier rather than received as an approval, is explained in the article on the JASO MA2 and MB classes.

Where the viscosity index and pour point should be, the Rider properties table has dashes, although the data sheets for Moto 4 Rider SL, Road and Tourer in the same 10W-40 grade fill in both lines. So on these two figures its data sheet gives nothing to compare with other JASO MA2 oils.
