ELF offers VW 504/507 approved "low SAP" oil in the U.S. now. As far as I know, they are the only one. You might want to try Elf Solaris LLX 5w30 It is very expensive though. By the way, the product data sheet indicates that TBN is only 5.8. Do all "low SAP" lubricants (like BMW LL-04 and MB...

If you read this Australian MOTUL Site, http://www.motul.com.au/product_line_up/4stroke/4stroke04.html , you can mix with synthetic or mineral, but Mixing with other viscosities is not recommended My understanding is that you can mix with syn or dino as long as it is 5w-40 oil. So I guess the...

Elf has just released a new product, Solaris LLX 5w30 which meets the latest VW 504/507. http://www.turbofrogperformance.com/Products/Engine/ELF_Oil.htm I guess that this is the first "low SAP" lubricant in the U.S. (correct me if I am wrong) The new VW 504/507 specification will replace all...

Elf Excellium DID 5w-40

How about Elf XT 3825 0w-20 racing oil, http://www.turbofrogperformance.com/Products/Engine/ELF_HTX.htm ? It says the viscoity at 100F is 8.1 cSt and its HTHS is 2.6. Do you guys think that Renault F1 team uses this oil in their racing engine?

Wow, today I found out Elf HTX Competition Oils. http://www.turbofrogperformance.com/Products/Engine/ELF_HTX.htm I thought these were only available in Europe, Australia and Japan. I guess Elf is really serious about bringing high quality lubricants to the States. What do you guy think about...
