Description

Elf Sporti 9 A5/B5 5W-30 is a synthetic fuel-economy oil for petrol engines and direct-injection diesels in passenger cars.

It is rated ACEA A5/B5 and API SL, and meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C913-D without formal approval.

It is not intended for cars with a diesel or petrol particulate filter and should be used only where the vehicle manufacturer permits ACEA A5/B5. Typical figures: 9.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 169, pour point -36 °C, base number 10 mg KOH/g. Available in 1 and 5 litre packs.

Application

Petrol engines and direct-injection diesels in cars without a diesel or petrol particulate filter, where the vehicle manufacturer permits ACEA A5/B5, for example under Ford WSS-M2C913-D.

Worth knowing

Among Elf 5W-30 oils, only two in the catalogue have the ACEA A5/B5 class: this one and Elf Evolution 900 SXR 5W-30. Their data-sheet figures almost coincide: 9.8 and 9.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 169 and 170, base number 10 mg KOH/g in both, pour point -36 °C. What differs is the status of the Ford WSS-M2C913-D standard: SXR holds an official Ford approval, whereas Sporti 9 A5/B5 only meets its requirements, by Elf’s own statement. SXR also has the approvals JLR STJLR.03.5003 and Renault RN0700 on record, which are missing from this oil’s list.

The article on Ford WSS-M2C approvals explains that the letter D after 913 marks a revision of the standard, and why a newer letter does not by itself make one Ford standard a replacement for another.
