In a counterfeit product, there are 3 strips at the bottom of the canister, which are located very close to each other. The real product ELF - 3 strips are placed noticeably wider from each other.

How to distinguish a fake

Counterfeit engine oil can cause serious damage to the engine. However, in order to distinguish it, it is not necessary to carry the liquid for analysis to the laboratory. It is enough to carefully examine the canister upon purchase. Here are some signs that will help identify a fake:

1. too hard, "oak" plastic canister;
2. rough, with uneven ribs cover;
3. tearing when trying to open its two-layer label;
4. transparent measuring scale, "curving" to the bottom of the canister;
5. protective ring, removed together with the lid.

In addition, the poor quality of the packaging as a whole, traces of opening, and the lack of necessary information should alert. The original label always contains the main characteristics, the manufacturer's address, contact phone number, article or product code, basic tolerances, specifications and approvals. In addition, the bottling date must be applied with a laser, which means that it cannot be erased or smeared.

The quality of motor fluid is one of the main parameters that determine the operation of an automobile engine. Therefore, each owner must know how to choose a lubricant for their vehicle. What is Elf 5W30 oil and what brands are in the product line, you will learn from this article.

First, let's look at the general properties of synthetic fluid for the Elf Evolution engine.

How does 5W30 stand for?

As for decoding, for Elf Evolution 5w30 motor lubricant, the main characteristics can be found according to the SAE standard:

1. 30 is subtracted from the number 5, as a result we get -25. This is the temperature at which it is possible to start the vehicle's engine at a cold temperature. At lower settings, the internal combustion engine will not start.
2. The symbol W stands for Winter (winter), which indicates the possibility of using liquid in the northern regions.
3. In accordance with the figure that stands next to the W sign, the speed of oil movement at elevated temperatures with the engine running is determined. This parameter also shows the viscosity of the lubricant when the power unit is warm.

Producer and quality of oil

Elf is considered one of the most innovative oil manufacturers in the world. Products manufactured by this manufacturer can be used for both diesel and gasoline. This refers to cars and trucks. According to the company's specialists, the viscosity in all products belonging to the 5w30 line allows them to be used both in summer and at strong negative temperatures. Therefore, lubricants are adapted to difficult conditions of use.

One of the main features of Elf 5w30 motor oils is considered to be increased thermal stability and the ability to withstand oxidative processes. Thanks to this, it is possible to prevent the destruction of structural elements of the power unit and achieve efficient operation in difficult conditions of use. Elf 5w30 fluids have high lubricating characteristics, and this contributes to fuel economy. If the engine is functioning correctly, while high-quality fuel is poured into the tank, then you can save up to 7% of gasoline or diesel fuel, and the parameter is also relevant for movement in winter.

According to official data, the production of liquid is carried out in compliance with all world standards and international requirements. In particular, we are talking about compliance with direct injection technology in diesel power units. Driving at high speeds allows you to maintain the main characteristics throughout the entire life of the lubricant. According to the manufacturer, with the proper functioning of the internal combustion engine, it is possible to achieve an increase in the service life of the lubricant.

Release form

Elf 5w30 motor fluid is available in plastic canisters with a volume of one, two, four, five and twenty liters. The article for 5w30 and 5w40 products will be different depending on the brand of lubricant.

How long does it take to change this lubricant?

In addition to technical specifications, many car owners are interested in how long Elf 5w30 engine oil is replaced. It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously. After all, its service life is determined by several factors. First, it is the quality of the liquid itself.

The manufacturer claims that the service life of the lubricant is 15 thousand kilometers. Secondly, the performance of the power unit. In some engines, the substance deteriorates much faster. Thirdly, the driving style of the driver and the operating conditions of the car. If you prefer an aggressive style of movement or the vehicle is used in a taxi, then the fluid change times will be lower. The average oil service life is 10 thousand kilometers.

How to distinguish a fake?

Today, only four criteria can be distinguished by which a high-quality liquid differs from a fake:

1. Pay attention to the cover. In packages with original oils, its edge is polished to a shine. As for counterfeit, on such bottles it is characterized by a uniform plastic structure on the top and side.
2. Look at the gap between the cork and the container itself. In originals, it should be approximately 1.5 mm. On packages with fake oil - absent.
3. The corner edge, located near the neck and at the bottom of the container, in counterfeit bottles has a wider structure of about 7 mm. As for the original, it is located closer to the neck and is characterized by a narrow structure.
4. Visually evaluate the bottom of the canister. The fake bottom has three convex stripes, they are quite close to each other. Moreover, the indentation from the edge of the package itself is approximately 1.3 cm. On bottles of real oils, these strips are located further. And the distance that they do not reach the edges is about 5 mm.

It is impossible to distinguish a fake from the original by labels.

Counterfeit manufacturers have learned how to make high-quality stickers. They use almost the same color scheme as the original, you can see the differences only in laboratory conditions. As with real packaging, fakes have a QR code.

The cost of oils

The price of liquid varies depending on its brand and a particular store. On average, the cost of a five-liter canister, regardless of the specific model of the line, is about 2600-3300 rubles.

For the good operation of an automobile engine, it is important to select a quality one. That is why every owner of the machine should have knowledge of the selection of lubricant.

Elf 5W-30 oil has the following features:

• subtracting 30 from 5, it turns out -25, which indicates the temperature at which the car engine is started on a cold one;

So, after a run of 4 - 5 thousand km. the product loses its properties.

Analogues

Many drivers are interested in whether there is an analogue of Elf oil. It is believed that lubrication, if necessary, can be Quartz Future NFC 5W-30, Mazda Dexelia Ultra and Original Oil Ultra5W-30.

How to distinguish a fake

To date, there are four criteria by which you can determine whether a liquid is of high quality or a fake.

First of all, you should pay attention to the cover. The original has a polished edge. Next, look at the gap that is between the cork and the container, its size is 1.5 mm. The third criterion is the corner edge. This detail is located near the neck and has a narrow shape. Another distinguishing feature is the bottom of the canister, convex strips do not reach the edge by 5 mm.

As for the label, you should not rely on it, since it is impossible to distinguish a fake from it. This is due to the use of one color scheme. Only laboratory examination will help to give an accurate answer using this element.

The cost of oil depends on the brand. 5 l canister. can cost the car owner about 3000 rubles.

Each driver tries to choose the best consumable for his car. But how to make the right choice of lubricant among the countless range on the market, maybe in terms of characteristics or price? To determine the qualitative composition of the lubricating component is the ability to protect the engine in any unforeseen situation. Elf Evolution 900 SXR 5W30 engine oil protects the vehicle's engine system in all operating conditions.

Elf Evolution 5w30 automotive oil is synthetic in nature. It is created from high quality base stocks using modern additives. The lubricant has excellent technical properties that allow the lubricant to be used in modern car engines.

The main parameter of the motor fluid is considered an indicator of economical fuel consumption. This is confirmed by numerous reviews of car owners who note that consumables really save fuel consumption. Reducing the consumption of fuel mass depends on the technical capabilities of the engine of the machine, the type of fuel used and the working conditions.

In addition, the lubricant itself is consumed economically. The lubricant practically does not evaporate and does not fade, therefore, in the process of work, it will not be necessary to add to the level. The amount of lubricant to be filled in is usually enough for the entire operating interval, and the distance from replacement to replacement is very long.

All technical characteristics of the lubricant composition remain unchanged, that is, the density, lubricity, pressure, fluidity of the technical solution do not change their properties throughout the entire period of operation. It turns out that the engine fluid can be easily distributed throughout the engine system, even in cold start conditions. This is a huge plus, because the main percentage of premature wear occurs during the engine start-up period.

As for high-temperature values, the car oil copes well with heat and overheating of the engine, but loses its performance at critical temperatures.

The oil has good temperature stability and is an inhibitor of corrosion processes and oxidation of working surfaces.

Excellent detergency and dispersancy are also included in the product description. The oil successfully copes with soot in the system, prevents it from forming and accumulating in the motor. It is noteworthy, but with the use of Elf engine oil, friction between the metal surfaces of the motor is reduced, which in turn prolongs the life of the motor. And the property of holding unwanted particles in a suspended position, relieves filters and valves from clogging.

According to the manufacturer, engine oil can be used in internal combustion engines in any operating mode, but it especially manifests itself in extreme driving style.

• Thanks to a complex of washing characteristics, as well as the ability of engine oil to hold sediment in suspension, engine cleanliness is maintained for the entire period of operation.
• Oil is almost not consumed for waste with a long drain interval.
• The stability of the lubricant to thermal oxidation and the preservation of useful parameters in difficult and extreme operating conditions.

According to the manufacturer, there are no special shortcomings in engine oil. However, in practice, some imperfections have been noticed:

• Automotive oil is not recommended for use in Russian cars. During practical tests, namely at high loads and engine operation at high speeds, the engine boiled.
• Inconsistency of information on solidification of the product. Lubricant crystallizes already at minus 30 degrees Celsius, so don't crank the engine.

Elf grease is more suitable for foreign-made cars, preferably not older than 2000.

Since they have small gaps between the working surfaces and polymer gaskets that are resistant to the action of synthetic lubricants.

How to distinguish a fake

Homemade engine oil can cause significant damage to all engine components. The use of low-quality consumables brings the motor closer to a major overhaul. You can recognize a fake not only by analysis in the laboratory. There are several signs of visual recognition of the original from a fake.

original oil label

Before directly buying an oil composition in a store, you should carefully examine the canister. The presence of low-quality or oak plastic packaging indicates handicraft production. Some other signs of falsification are also evidenced: a rough lid with beveled ribs, a fragile and torn second label on the back of the canister, when opening the lid, the ring should not be detached along with the lid. The low price of the product also indicates the fake oil composition.

Elf engine oil is produced at three factories in Europe - France, Romania, Belgium. The beginning of the barcode indicates the country in which the product was manufactured. The designation LOT indicates Romania, 10 - Belgium, 31 - France.

Additional signs of counterfeit recognition:

• there are additional symbols on the branded canister near the volume, there are no such designations on the counterfeit;
• the original is marked "Best Performances";
• the label on the quality composition is not translated into Dutch;
• the original grease is equipped with a special QR code for scanning;
• at the bottom of a real canister, the inscription is written in one line;
• dates of release of a branded canister and bottling of engine oil are indicated in the same month, but should not coincide.

If the consumer does not trust the outlet that distributes the products, then it will not be superfluous to ask the sales assistant or department manager for a certificate for the sale of products of this brand. If everything is in order with the documents, then the seller will easily provide them. If not, then it is better not to trust this outlet and buy products only from an authorized representative.

One of the most important "consumables" of a motorist is engine oil. It is necessary to lubricate the components of the power unit during operation. The fluid allows the motor to function stably and prevents early wear of parts. It has many characteristics that are suitable for certain motors. These criteria include the level of viscosity, frost resistance and others.

Lubricant SXR 5W30

Currently, the motorist is provided with a huge selection of automotive lubricants, but even among all this variety, Elf 5W30 synthetic oil occupies a leading position. Firstly, this engine fluid is suitable for gasoline, diesel, turbocharged gasoline and diesel powertrains. That is, in other words, it is universal in use. This is confirmed by the fact that Elf SAE 5W30 can be used in various climatic conditions and at different vehicle traffic levels (whether it be a traffic jam or traffic on the autobahn).

Advantages and characteristics of the consumable fluid

The advantages of Elf Evolution 5W 30 include the following parameters:

1. Economical fuel consumption.
2. Ensuring the reliability of the operation of the power unit, as well as preserving the components of the "engine" from premature wear.
3. No need for frequent replacement. As a rule, a tool of this brand has an increased interval between the acts of replacing the engine fluid.
   

Main characteristics:

1. It can withstand air temperatures up to -36 degrees (if the indicator is exceeded, the agent may freeze) and up to +224 degrees (the likelihood of fire).
2. The viscosity level is 160 points.
3. At +15 degrees, the density of the lubricant is 0.85 grams per cubic centimeter.
4. When the operating temperature of the motor reaches forty degrees, the viscosity of the technical fluid is 57 mm² / s, and at 100 degrees - 9.9 mm² / s;

Due to the characteristics of Elf 5W30 oil, the reviews are mostly positive.

Lubricant Full Tech FE

Drivers' opinions

Andrey, driving experience - 8 years, Renault Logan

Elf Evolution Car brand oil is distinguished by quality and reliability. In addition, engine performance is improved. When I first filled in the liquid, I noticed that the engine became more stable. In addition, the winter start problem, which was observed at the time when I used other analogues, disappeared.

Anton, has been driving a car for 10 years, Volkswagen Transit

The lubricant is ideal for a diesel engine. The power unit began to work somewhat quieter. The good news is that the oil can be changed not so often, on average, one filling is enough for 15-30 thousand kilometers traveled.

Danil, has been driving a car for 8 years, Audi 80

After I filled in the oil for the first time, I felt significant savings. In the city, it happens that you can save a liter and a half. And when my “swallow” plows the expanses of highways, I consistently consume two liters less.

Boris, driving experience - 4 years, Toyota Corolla

Despite the "exhortations" of friends that the lubricant of this brand is of dubious quality, I decided to try it. And I don't regret it. After I filled in the oil, the engine began to function better and quieter, the consumption in the city decreased, and I completely forgot about the problem of unstable winter starting of the engine.

It is worth noting that I purchased the liquid from an authorized dealer, since when buying in dubious spare parts stores, you can run into a fake.
