Description

Elf Performance Pro 1000 15W-40 is a low-SAPS engine oil for truck and delivery-vehicle diesels, including those with particulate filters, and for some gas engines. It also suits fleets running on high-sulphur diesel.

It is rated ACEA E7, E9 and E11 and API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, CH-4 and SN. Official approvals: Cummins CES 20086, DTFR 15C100, Ford WSS-M2C171-F1, Mack EOS-4.5, MAN M 3775, Renault Trucks RLD-3 and Volvo VDS-4.5. It meets the requirements of CAT ECF-1a, ECF-2 and ECF-3, DDC DFS 93K222, Deutz DQC III-18 LA and John Deere JDQ 78X without formal approval.

Typical figures: 15.47 mm²/s at 100 °C, base number 10 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.99 %. Available in 208 litre drums.

Application

Truck and delivery-vehicle diesels, including those with particulate filters, some gas engines, and fleets running on high-sulphur diesel fuel.

Worth knowing

The data sheet makes a separate point of truck diesels running on high-sulphur fuel, and that is exactly where the Cummins approval on the list deserves a closer look. According to Cummins recommendations quoted in the section on high-sulphur fuel in the machinery oil article, CES 20086 oils are not advised for engines without exhaust aftertreatment when the fuel contains more than 15 ppm of sulphur, and CES 20078 is named for those conditions instead. This oil’s list does not include CES 20078.

In this range, the CES 20078 approval belongs to Performance Pro 700 15W-40, of the same viscosity, with ACEA E7 and a base number of 11 mg KOH/g, but with 1.45 % sulphated ash against 0.99 % here and without the low-ash E9 and E11 classes. One more detail of the data sheet: DAF, Iveco, Claas, Fendt and several other makes appear in its compliance section by name only, with no specification numbers, so the document does not say which of their standards is meant.
