Purpose and Specifications

TOTAL Quartz Ineo Xtra EC6 0W-20 is a premium synthetic engine oil engineered for modern petrol, diesel, and hybrid engines from leading car manufacturers. This oil meets the latest ACEA C6, ACEA C5, API SP, and ILSAC GF-6A standards, ensuring compatibility with the newest downsized and hybrid powertrains.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Better Fuel Economy: Reduces friction in your engine, delivering approximately 3.6% improvement in fuel consumption during standard testing. This means real savings at the pump and lower CO2 emissions.
• Extended Oil Life: Superior thermal and oxidation stability allows you to go longer between oil changes, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
• Engine Cleanliness: Advanced detergent additives fight sludge and carbon deposits, keeping your engine running at peak performance throughout the oil's service life.
• Cold Start Protection: Flows instantly even in freezing conditions, ensuring immediate lubrication of all engine components during winter starts.
• Lower Emissions: Reduces harmful deposits in particulate filters, helping your vehicle meet Euro 6 emission standards and protecting the environment.
• Wear Protection: Provides excellent protection against metal-to-metal contact, particularly in the timing chain and distribution system.

When to Use / Replace?

Recommended for: Vehicles requiring ACEA C6, C5, API SP (RC), or ILSAC GF-6A specifications. Check your owner's manual for exact requirements—this oil is approved by major manufacturers including Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Chrysler, and Fiat.

Replacement Intervals: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service schedule. This oil's extended drain capability means you may go longer between changes compared to conventional oils—typically 10,000 to 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Always consult your owner's manual for precise intervals.

Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for year-round use from extreme cold (below -30°C) to high-temperature highway driving (up to 150°C engine operating temperature).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in older vehicles?
A: While designed for modern engines, this oil is backward compatible with vehicles requiring ACEA C5 or earlier specifications. However, always verify your vehicle's manual first to ensure compatibility.

Q: Will this oil help my hybrid engine?
A: Yes. This oil is specifically formulated for hybrid powertrains, which experience unique thermal and oxidation challenges. It provides superior protection during frequent start-stop cycles and extended idle periods.

Q: How much fuel economy improvement can I expect?
A: Real-world results vary based on driving habits and vehicle condition, but the oil's low-friction formulation is designed to support your engine's fuel efficiency. The 3.6% improvement figure comes from standardized laboratory testing.
