Description
Elf Moto 4 Twin Tech 20W-60 is a semi-synthetic oil from the Moto 4 range developed for motorcycles with twin-cylinder engines. Its high viscosity, cold and hot, is intended to protect the valve train, and according to the data sheet the engine runs more quietly on it.
The oil is rated API SN and JASO MA2; no motorcycle manufacturer approvals are listed. Its additives make gear changes smoother.
Typical figures: 25.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 142, pour point -33 °C, flash point 260 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.
Application
Motorcycles with twin-cylinder four-stroke engines that need a high-viscosity oil both cold and hot.
Worth knowing
Of the three Moto 4 oils in the 20W-60 grade, only this one has API SN; both Tourers claim SP, and JASO MA2 is common to all. The telling comparison is with Elf Moto 4 Tourer 20W-60: the two data sheets give the same 25.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 142, pour point -33 °C and flash point 260 °C. If the motorcycle’s manual names API SP, then in this viscosity the Tourer and Tourer XP 20W-60 meet the requirement and the Twin Tech does not.
The same pairing of API SN and JASO MA2 is found in five more oils of the range, from Moto 4 Pro Tech 5W-40 to Moto 4 Race 10W-60, but all are of other viscosity grades, so none can stand in for a 20W-60. A separate article explains how to read the API class marking on the label.
