Purpose and Specifications

TOTAL Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-30 is a full synthetic engine oil engineered for modern European diesel and petrol engines. This premium oil meets the strictest manufacturer requirements including VW 504.00/507.00, BMW LL-04, and Porsche C30 specifications, plus ACEA C3 international standards.

The oil's Age-Resistance Technology creates a protective film on engine parts that resists breakdown even under extreme temperatures and demanding driving conditions. This means your engine stays cleaner longer and experiences less wear from friction and oxidation.

• Fuel Economy: Reduces engine resistance, helping you achieve better kilometers per liter
• Emission Control: Low sulfur and ash content protects diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters, meeting EURO 6 standards
• Engine Cleanliness: Superior detergent properties prevent sludge and deposit buildup
• Cold Start Protection: Flows easily at temperatures as low as -30°C, ensuring immediate engine protection on winter mornings
• Extended Drain Intervals: Exceptional oxidation resistance allows longer periods between oil changes compared to conventional oils

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in VW Group vehicles, BMW models requiring LL-04 specification, and Porsche vehicles needing C30-approved lubricants. Always check your vehicle's owner manual for the exact specification required.

Replacement Schedule: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals. With Quartz Ineo Long Life's superior oxidation resistance, many modern vehicles can extend drain intervals to 15,000-20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, always defer to your owner's manual for precise guidance.

Storage: Keep unopened containers in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is typically 3-5 years when stored properly away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Operating Temperature Range: This oil performs reliably from -30°C (cold starts) to +40°C ambient conditions, with engine operating temperatures reaching 100-120°C during normal driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my non-VW European car?
A: Only if your vehicle's manual specifies ACEA C3, BMW LL-04, or equivalent approvals. Using the wrong oil specification can void your warranty and damage your engine. Always verify your owner's manual first.

Q: How does this oil help my diesel engine's particulate filter?
A: The low sulfur and ash formula prevents excessive residue buildup in your DPF, reducing regeneration cycles and extending filter life. This also lowers harmful emissions like NOx and particulates.

Q: Is synthetic oil worth the extra cost?
A: Yes. Synthetic oils like this one resist breakdown longer, protect better at extreme temperatures, improve fuel economy, and often allow extended service intervals—offsetting the higher upfront cost through longer engine life and fewer oil changes.
