Description

Elf Sporti 9 C1 5W-30 is a synthetic ACEA C1 oil; this class sets the strictest limits on sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur among the ACEA fuel-economy categories. It is intended chiefly for Ford diesel engines with a particulate filter and is compatible with other exhaust after-treatment systems.

The oil meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C934-A and Ford WSS-M2C934-B without formal approval. It is intended only for engines where the vehicle manufacturer specifies ACEA C1.

Typical figures: 10.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 157, pour point -36 °C, flash point 232 °C. Available in 5 litre packs.

Application

Mainly Ford diesel engines with a particulate filter that call for WSS-M2C934-A or WSS-M2C934-B, and other engines where the vehicle manufacturer explicitly specifies ACEA C1.

Worth knowing

The ACEA C1 class on which this oil rests no longer appears in the current ACEA system: according to the article on the ACEA classes that remain and those that are new, it was withdrawn in 2021 because carmakers hardly ever asked for it. When a service book specifies C1, the same article advises going by the carmaker’s approval stated next to it, and if there is none, asking an official dealer of the make which current class to use in place of C1.

Elf gives the numbers Ford WSS-M2C934-A and Ford WSS-M2C934-B for this oil only as meeting the requirements. Among the oils on the page for Ford WSS-M2C934-B, two of the ten hold an official Ford approval, and the rest likewise only claim that they meet the requirements. The catalogue holds no other Elf oil with the C1 class or with either of these two Ford numbers, and the other Sporti 9 5W-30 oils have other classes, C2, C3, C4 or A5/B5, and other carmaker numbers.
