Choosing a quality engine oil is therefore crucial to limit friction in metal parts and avoid premature engine deterioration.
Quartz with Age-Resistance Technology, offers up to 74% less wear compared to industry limits.* Its unique combination of hyperactive molecules creates a strong thick oil film on all concerned engine parts. Engine is protected against a variety of challenges, from wear to oil oxidation even at extreme temperatures.
So, the next time you're wondering which engine oil to use, choose performance and protection that lasts.
But though these vehicles possess many virtues and are more respectful of the environment, they also have features that require special attention and appropriate maintenance products. For example, hybrid vehicles still need efficient lubrication that can only be provided by specifically designed engine oils.
Therefore, TotalEnergies has developed the Quartz Ineo Xtra and Quartz 9000 Xtra range, which features Eco-Science technology that improves engine life, performance and reduces fuel consumption. This range not only removes impurities, protects engines but also delivers:
--Up to 4% fuel economy, equivalent to a 33% improvement over industry standards **
--Up to 15X stronger oil stability compared to industry limits***
Quartz Ineo Xtra and Quartz 9000 Xtra range, with Eco-Science Technology offers optimal engine maintenance for maximum performance.
*** Based on the API Seq IIIH High Temperature oil thickening test. Result for Quartz Ineo Xtra V-Drive 0W-20 compared to the industry reference as defined by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Fluids for Electric Vehicles
As EVs become increasingly powerful and their battery range and charging speeds improve, standard fluids are unable to keep up in terms of robustness, heat resistance and cooling capacity.
Quartz EV Fluids are backed by major R&D efforts and tailored technical solutions to address the new electrical, thermal and material compatibility of electric vehicles.
Fluids used in electric vehicles require electrical insulation properties. El fluido debe ser aislante para prevenir cualquier formación de arcos, porque va a estar en estrecho contacto con los componentes eléctricos y/o electrónicos del vehículo. The fluid must be insulating to prevent any arcing since it is going to be in close contact with the electrical and/or electronic components of the vehicle.
Lithium Ion battery has its maximum efficiency within a very short temperature range. Having a temperature above or below this range will drastically impact the performances and the lifetime of the battery. It is therefore mandatory to ensure that the thermal management of the battery allows it to work in this temperature range even under extreme conditions such as fast charging or hot and cold climate.
Material compatibility is critical to the fluids used in electric vehicles due to large amount of copper present in the components, especially e-transmissions. It is mandatory for fluids to provide protection against corrosion and to ensure its consistent performance throughout the drain interval.
