Description

Elf Racing GT 10W-60 is a synthetic motorsport oil developed alongside the Alpine A424 hypercar programme. It is intended for racing and GT cars that specifically require a 10W-60 grade.

The oil is rated ACEA C3 and API SN. It holds no official carmaker approvals: the oil's manufacturer states that it meets the requirements of Aston Martin and BMW Sports.

The formulation is compatible with diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated parts. Typical figures: 23.09 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 175, pour point -48 °C, flash point 250 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.

Application

Racing and GT cars for which a 10W-60 viscosity is specified.

Worth knowing

The “Manufacturers Approvals” field in the Elf data sheet is empty. Next to it are two other lines: the first names the Alpine A424 hypercar for which the oil was developed, and the second lists four marques as recommended, Aston Martin, BMW Sports (M-series), Ferrari and Porsche, without any code or approval number. This is a recommendation by the oil’s manufacturer; what a particular car actually requires is set out in its service book, which the data sheet itself points to.

As for classes, the data sheet gives ACEA C3 and API SN, and it puts a dash in the TBN and sulphated ash lines. So only the class says anything about ash content here: according to the article on ACEA classes today, C-series oils have up to 0.8 % ash, and C3 also requires an HTHS of at least 3.5 mPa·s, the same as the full-SAPS A3/B4.
