Elf 0W-30 and 5W-50

[Primus]

Always interesting when oil manufacturer gives its own test values vs. min/max values required by ACEA procedure. May be oil grade/car recommendations from Elf will be useful too:

Hey, do you have the English version?

Our BITOG people don't need a translator for graphs and tables !

On these pages there are plenty of latin letters too.

Oh my god...you mean you can use a 50 weight a Japanese car?? No....way....it wasn't "designed" for it.

Yeah, those Japanese Domestic Market motors sure do have loose clearances, not like those tight ones it our motors

Also, the 2 graphs on the 0-30 website were rather interesting showing the comparison of API SL ratings versus ACEA...not sure what they completely mean though
