Purpose and Specifications

TOTAL QUARTZ 7000 ENERGY 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil designed for gasoline and diesel passenger cars. It delivers reliable engine protection, cleanliness, and thermal stability across normal and demanding driving conditions.

What the 10W-40 rating means: The oil flows smoothly at cold starts down to around -30°C (10W rating) and maintains proper thickness at normal engine operating temperatures (40 rating). This balance makes it suitable for year-round driving in most climates.

Key Benefits

• Engine Cleanliness: Advanced detergent chemistry reduces sludge and deposit buildup, keeping your engine running smoothly over time.
• Wear Protection: Protects critical engine parts including pistons, rings, and cylinder liners during all driving stages—startup, warm-up, and normal operation.
• Thermal Stability: Resists breakdown under heat and load, extending oil life compared to conventional mineral oils.
• Turbocharged Engine Support: Ideal for turbocharged and multi-valve engines that generate higher heat and pressure.
• Catalyst Compatible: Safe for vehicles with catalytic converters and suitable for unleaded fuel or LPG systems.

When to Use / Replace?

Replacement Interval: Change oil every 10,000 to 15,000 km or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations in the owner's manual.

Best For: City and highway driving with frequent stop-start cycles, turbocharged petrol or diesel engines, and European vehicles (Peugeot, Citroën, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Fiat) requiring VW 501.01/505.00 or MB 229.1 approvals.

Not Recommended For: Diesel engines with particulate filters (DPF) or hybrid start-stop systems requiring fuel economy certification.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Typical shelf life is 3 to 5 years in sealed containers.
