Quartz 9000 NFC 5W-30

Quartz 9000 NFC 5W-30 is a "Fuel Economy" lubricant for light vehicle engines where 5W-30 is the viscosity grade. It is in fact an "energy saving" and therefore "fuel saving" lubricant. This lubricant is more fluid than standard mineral oils, without altering its quality of protection against engine wear.

The TotalEnergies Ecosolutions advantage

Fuel Economy" engine lubricants allow to reduce the fuel consumption of the engine compared to a standard technology lubricant (identified as the market reference for light vehicles in Europe). Indeed, thanks to their optimized viscosimetric profile, Fuel Economy lubricants reduce the friction responsible for energy losses and therefore reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

The Environmental Performance

The environmental and health performance of Quartz 9000 NFC 5W-30 is evaluated by comparing it with Quartz Ineo Long Life 5W-30 oil (identified as the standard reference) for an equivalent service. For the functional unit lubricating an engine over a 1000 km journey with a light vehicle, we obtain:

1.46 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

Given the size of the market, the liters of fuel saved and consequently the GHG emissions avoided using TotalEnergies Ecosolutions lubricant represent significant environmental gains.
