Description

Elf Moto 4 Tourer 10W-40 is a synthetic engine oil for four-stroke touring motorcycles that cover long distances on motorways, mountain and country roads.

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

Friction control prevents clutch slip and keeps gear changes smooth. Oil pressure builds quickly on a cold start, and viscosity stays stable in a hot engine. Antioxidants maintain protection to the end of the longest recommended drain interval. Typical figures: 14.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 151, pour point -33 °C. Available in 1 and 4 litre packs.

Application

Four-stroke touring motorcycles covering long distances on motorways, mountain and country roads.

Worth knowing

Three more oils in the Moto 4 range claim API SP and JASO MA2 in 10W-40. Elf Moto 4 Tourer XP FE 10W-40 has a lower viscosity, 13.2 mm²/s at 100 °C against 14.2 mm²/s, while Moto 4 Rider is almost identical in viscosity (14.1 mm²/s) but is aimed by the manufacturer at everyday town riding with frequent stops, the Tourer at long-distance touring. Moto 4 Race has the same 14.2 mm²/s, but the manufacturer calls it fully synthetic. The Tourer, XP FE and Rider each have their own code in the JASO list, and for the Tourer it is M033TEL201.

The same table, figure for figure from the 864 kg/m³ density to the 236 °C flash point, is printed in the data sheet for the semi-synthetic Moto 4 Road 10W-40, but Road claims only API SN. The difference in class matters more here than the match in typical figures; exactly which tests API SP adds over the earlier classes is described in the overview of the API SN, SP and SQ classes.
