Description

Elf Scooter 4 City 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil for high-performance four-stroke scooters working in heavy city traffic and on country roads. It is compatible with catalytic converters.

It meets API SN and JASO MB; the data sheet lists no motorcycle-maker approvals.

Viscosity modifiers ease cold starts, detergent additives keep the engine clean, and the oil film reduces mechanical noise. Typical figures: 14.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 154, pour point -33 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.

Application

High-performance four-stroke scooters in dense city traffic and on country roads; the oil is compatible with catalytic converters.

Worth knowing

The English-language data sheet itself names two API classes: SN in the key data, and “API SJ” in the paragraph on use. The Ukrainian page of the Elf catalogue has the same split: API SN and JASO MB among the standards, API SJ specifications in the description of use. This catalogue records the oil by its list of standards, as SN, but when the scooter’s manual names a specific class, check the category on the can label; what sets SN apart from SP and for which engines API still recognises SJ and SN is in the overview of classes.

This data sheet’s figures do not set it apart from Elf Scooter 4 Agility 10W-40: 96 and 14.3 mm²/s, viscosity index 154 and a pour point of -33 °C match in both tables. Agility has API SP and a JASO code, M033TEL004, printed in the data sheet; the City data sheet gives no code, so checking class MB requires the JASO frame with the code on the can itself. A motorcycle with a wet clutch whose manual prescribes MA needs a different oil: Elf Moto 4 Road 10W-40, for example, has API SN and 10W-40 together with JASO MA2.
