Description
Elf Moto 4 Tourer XP 20W-60 is a fully synthetic oil from the Moto 4 range for touring motorcycles on long runs in hot weather, where the manufacturer calls for a high-viscosity oil. Its synthetic base oils are combined with viscosity modifiers.
The oil is rated API SP and JASO MA2; the data sheet cites no motorcycle manufacturer approvals. Friction control prevents clutch slip, and the antioxidant additives are designed for long drain intervals.
Typical figures: 23.8 mm²/s at 100 °C and 210 mm²/s at 40 °C, flash point 233 °C, density 888 kg/m³. Available in 1 litre packs.
Application
Touring motorcycles on long, hot runs for which the manufacturer specifies a high-viscosity oil.
Worth knowing
The Tourer XP and Elf Moto 4 Tourer 20W-60 claim the same API SP and JASO MA2, yet in the JASO list they are two separate oils with different codes: M033TEL203 for the XP and M033TEL205 for the Tourer. The XP data sheet speaks of a 100 % synthetic formula, the Tourer’s of “synthetic technology”. The figures differ as well: the XP is thinner, 23.8 mm²/s at 100 °C and 210 mm²/s at 40 °C against 25.6 and 231 mm²/s, its flash point is 233 °C against the Tourer’s 260 °C, and its density is 888 kg/m³ against 874. The XP data sheet gives no viscosity index or pour point, so the pair cannot be compared on those.
When the manual requires 20W-60 with API SP and JASO MA2, both fit on classes. How the base oil affects the stability of an oil’s properties and the change interval is explained in general terms in the article on whether synthetic or mineral is better.
