Description

Elf Performance Pro 4000 5W-30 is a fully synthetic low-SAPS oil from the Performance Pro range with reduced HTHS viscosity for the newest on-road heavy-duty diesels. It is to be used only where the engine manufacturer permits this class of oil.

Classes: API FA-4 and ACEA F01. Official approvals: DTFR 15C130, Mack EOS-5, Renault Trucks RLD-5, Volvo VDS-5. The oil meets the requirements of Cummins CES 20087 without formal approval. For Volvo and Renault Trucks the data sheet quotes drain intervals of up to 150,000 km.

Typical figures: 10 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 162, base number 10.4 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1 %. Available in 208 and 1000 litre packs.

Application

The newest on-road heavy-duty diesel engines for which the engine manufacturer permits API FA-4 or ACEA F01 oils.

Worth knowing

Two oils in the Performance Pro range are labelled 5W-30, and their code lists have nothing in common. This one is API FA-4 and ACEA F01, while Performance Pro 3000 5W-30 carries API CK-4, ACEA E11 and Volvo VDS-4.5, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Mack EOS-4.5, DTFR 15C110 and 15C120 approvals, with a viscosity of 12.2 mm²/s at 100 °C against 10 mm²/s for this oil. For an engine whose documentation specifies VDS-4.5 or EOS-4.5, only the 3000 of the two has the right code, even though both labels show the same viscosity.

Nor is this oil a successor to the 3000 just because its number is higher, any more than DTFR 15C130 succeeds 15C110. The article on the new API classes, diesel CK-4 and FA-4 included explains why FA-4, unlike CK-4, is not backward compatible and belongs only in engines whose makers have expressly provided for it.
