FAQ
How to choose the right lubricant ?
You're about to change your oil, and you're wondering which of the lubricants available on the market you should choose. It's really a choice that depends on your vehicle.
The right lubricant will meet international standards (ACEA, API, ILSAC, JASO), as well as the specifications of each manufacturer.(ex: Renault RN0710, PSA B71 2290, BMW LL-04….)
To make your choice, first check your vehicle's maintenance manual to find the standard or authorized lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. This should match the information on the back of the prod1uct.
You should also choose a lubricant whose viscosity matches your vehicle's needs. Viscosity is a measure of resistance to free flow, and is listed in two grades: a cold grade and a hot grade.
TotalEnergies Lubrifiants offers high-performance lubricants on the market. For example, Low SAPS lubricants avoid particle filter clogging, thereby protecting your engine's longevity. Particles are captured and burned in a particle filter, significantly reducing the amount of particles emitted into the air.
There are also Fuel Economy lubricants from the Quartz product line that help significantly lower your fuel consumption.
When should you change your oil? Oil change frequency should be based on several factors: the manufacturer's recommendation, generally listed in km or in years, and the kind of driving you do most often: city, rural, or highway. You can always visit a nearby TotalEnergies shop for more advice.
