ELF MOTO motorcycle oil
TotalEnergiesoffers a range of excellent motorcycle lubricants suitable for 2 and 4-stroke engines through our ELF MOTO 4 and MOTO 2 brands. From modern, high-performance racing and leisure bikes through to road bikes used day-to-day, our ELF Moto engine oils offer engine protection for all motorcyclists, and because they’re produced with TotalEnergies latest synthetic oil technologies, they guarantee clean running and maximum power, whatever the oil grade.
The range has been developed and put through its paces alongside the Kawasaki Racing Team WSBK and the MotoGP Marc VDS Racing teams, ensuring exceptional performance on road and track.
Both two and four-stroke oils have exceptional oxidation resistance at high temperatures, prevent the formation of deposits, contain additives to thicken oil at high temperatures and maintain their fluidity at low temperatures. This helps them protect components from wear, even in high-speed, high-pressure or high-load situations.

How ELF MOTO and Brough Superior make the perfect motorbike partnership
In biking, no name carries as much historical weight as Brough Superior. The preferred motorcycle manufacturer of the likes of Lawrence of Arabia, Brough’s bikes represented the height of two-wheeled technology between 1919 and 1940 when, sadly, the workshop closed its doors.
Until 2008 that is, when the company leapt into action producing a brand-new generation of Brough Superior motorcycles. TotalEnergies have been tremendously lucky to be a part of this storied revival, producing a range of superior vintage motorcycle oils under the Brough name. Learn more about our partnership and products below.
