Description

Elf Sporti 9 C2 5W-30 is a synthetic low-ash oil of fuel-saving viscosity for modern engines with exhaust after-treatment. Its main target is PSA diesel engines with a particulate filter.

The oil is rated ACEA C2 and meets the requirements of PSA B71 2290 without formal approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: 12 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 168, pour point -36 °C, flash point 238 °C, base number 7.3 mg KOH/g. Available in 1 and 5 litre packs.

Application

Modern engines with exhaust after-treatment, above all PSA diesels with a particulate filter that call for B71 2290.

Worth knowing

According to its data sheet, Elf Sporti 9 C2/C3 5W-30 has the same typical figures as this oil, from the viscosity at 40 and 100 °C to the base number, flash point and pour point. The code lists differ: C2/C3 adds C3, API SN, API CF and MB 229.52 to ACEA C2 and lacks PSA B71 2290. For a Peugeot or Citroën whose service book says 2290, identical figures in the table do not make up for that number. Within Sporti 9, RP C2/C3 5W-30 also claims it, again only as meeting the requirements, while Elf Evolution Full-Tech C2 5W-30 holds an official PSA B71 2290 approval with the same C2 class.

Full-Tech C2 is thinner at 100 °C: 10.6 mm²/s against 12 mm²/s here. The article on PSA B71 codes on the can explains that the four digits after B71 denote different oils for different engines, not grades of quality.
