Description

Elf Sporti 7 A3/B4 10W-40 is a Sporti engine oil for cars and light vans, synthetic-based as its maker describes it, suited to any climate and severe duty. The maker says it eases cold starts and keeps hydraulic tappets quiet.

The oil is rated API SN, API CF and ACEA A3/B4. It meets the requirements of VW 501.01, VW 505.00, MB 229.3, Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, PSA B71 2294, PSA B71 2300 and Fiat 9.55535-G2 without official approvals.

Typical data-sheet figures: viscosity 14.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 156, pour point -39 °C. Available in 1 and 5 litre packs.

Being full-ash, it does not suit diesels with a particulate filter needing a low-ash oil.

Application

Petrol engines with or without a catalytic converter and diesel engines with or without turbocharging in cars and light vans, across a range of climates and under severe duty.

Worth knowing

The Ukrainian-language PDF data sheet linked from this oil’s page in the Ukrainian Elf catalogue is marked “Updated: 02/2018”, and its list of codes differs from the English data sheet and from the page itself: it gives a different API class and Mercedes-Benz number, and of the Renault standards names only RN0700. The description above rests on the English data sheet, which lists API SN, MB 229.3, Renault RN0700 and RN0710 and Fiat 9.55535-G2. Both documents give the carmaker numbers only as compliance, without approvals.

Elf Evolution 700 Turbo Diesel 10W-40 holds official approvals for Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 with the same ACEA A3/B4, API SN and API CF classes, while, like Sporti 7, it merely claims MB 229.3 and Fiat 9.55535-G2. Turbo Diesel has no PSA B71 2294 or PSA B71 2300 codes; among Elf oils the catalogue records them only for Sporti 7. Turbo Diesel’s pour point is -24 °C against -39 °C here. For which Renault and Dacia engines RN0700 suits and which RN0710, see the article on the Renault RN0700, RN0710 and RN17 approvals.
