Is Elf Excellium LDX 5W-40 fully synthetic?

[brianpavlovic]

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

Brian,

I would email elfperformance and get a door to door price. Not many are aware of the Bitog Special he has for us:

ELF Oil

Wow!!!...a VW 502.00 approved synthetic BLEND. I didn't think such a thing existed. I learn something new every day.

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.

elfperformance,

I've got a 6+ year stash of GC Green at the moment. But for the benefit of other BITOGers, how do you take advantage of this?
