Purpose and Specifications

Engine oil TOTAL 5W30 QUARTZ INEO ECS 1L is an advanced synthetic lubricant designed for Peugeot, Citroen, and DS petrol and diesel engines. It delivers outstanding protection against wear, corrosion, and sludge while optimizing emission systems like diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters. The 5W30 viscosity flows easily in cold starts down to -30°C and stays thick up to 150°C for reliable performance in tough conditions like city traffic or highways.

Key practical benefits include up to 6% fuel savings at startup and 3% average savings in mixed driving, extending engine life and reducing CO2 emissions. Its low SAPS formula (low in harmful ash-making metals) prevents DPF clogging, doubling filter life compared to standard oils.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in modern direct-injection, turbocharged, or older diesel engines (post-2000) requiring ACEA C2 specs. Ideal for severe conditions: frequent short trips, heavy loads, or extreme temperatures. Replace every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, to maintain peak protection and fuel efficiency. Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry.

• Protects against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbo engines
• Keeps engine clean from soot and deposits
• Versatile for gasoline and diesel vehicles
