I was driving home from work yesterday when I noticed a ELF dealer sticker on a lawn / tractor supply store. I walk in and sure enough, the guy has his litttle stand of Elf oils including the Excellium LDX 5W-40. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this oil is 100% Fully Synthetic? I tried searching and could not find anything verifying that it was a full synthetic. The bottle says "synthetic technology" and I know that in Europe, oil manufac. must state on the bottle FULL SYNTHETIC if their product is full synthetic. Now, if the oil is a Group III with a heck of a mix, than it is not worth the money. But, if it is a Group IV and V, than maybe...

the LDX 5W40 is a blend, the LDX 0W30 is a 100%Synthetic PAO base
Wow!!!...a VW 502.00 approved synthetic BLEND. I didn't think such a thing existed. I learn something new every day. ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif)
It's not the kind of blend that you are thinking of. It is a group 3/4 with a little group 5 possibly blended in. It is NOT a group 2/3.
Right - I did not mean to give the wrong impression - it is an excellent oil, just not a 100% Synthetic PAO like the 0W30 - thanks for the clarification & yes we do offer significant discounts & free shipping to BITOG members.
Make that 2 new things I learned today.
