Description

Elf Moto 4 Scooter 10W-30 is a mineral engine oil for four-stroke scooters with automatic transmissions, including CVT units, ridden in heavy traffic with frequent stops.

The oil is rated API SL and JASO MB; the data sheet lists no motorcycle manufacturer approvals. Its reduced-friction formulation is designed specifically for scooters with automatic transmissions.

The oil film holds up in stop-and-go riding, and anti-foam additives keep foaming in check. Typical figures: 10.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 138, pour point -30 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.

Application

Four-stroke scooters with automatic transmissions (CVT, no manual gear change) ridden in heavy traffic with frequent stops.

Worth knowing

Here the Moto 4 line name does not imply a motorcycle friction class: this oil is JASO MB with reduced friction, while the three other 10W-30 oils in the same line, Maxi Tech, Tourer SL and Tourer XP FE, claim MA or MA2 for wet clutches. So among the 10W-30 oils of the Moto 4 line, it is the only one whose class suits a scooter for which the manufacturer specifies MB.

Elf gives the MB class at 10W-30 to two more oils in the Scooter 4 line. Scooter 4 Trust matches this oil in both its API SL category and every typical figure in the data sheet, while Elf Scooter 4 Power 10W-30, at the same MB, claims the newer API SP category and is listed in the catalogue as fully synthetic, whereas the data sheet calls the base of Moto 4 Scooter mineral. The article on motorcycle oils explains that a manufacturer may specify MA rather than MB even for a scooter, and how to work out the right JASO class from the owner’s manual.
