Total will release TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE XT 0W-16 for nationwide distribution.
Total Specialties USA, Inc. announced the addition of a new engine oil to the TOTAL QUARTZ product line - TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE XT 0W-16.
TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE XT 0W-16 engine oil is positioned to meet the needs of a market that is trending towards lower viscosities. Total Lubrifiants will now offer it to the U.S. market as it gets ready to service applicable 2018 vehicles that require 0W-16 formulations.
It is a full synthetic, high-performance engine oil that offers quick starts in cold temperatures and protects against LSPI (low speed pre-ignition) that is found in newer engines.
"Total prides itself on cutting edge innovation and creating a product in the 0W16 viscosity is an essential and innovative approach to the market trending towards lower viscosities. TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE XT 0W-16 also positions Total to be ready when the new ILSAC GF-6B licensing process begins," commented Christophe Doussoux, SVP Lubricants, Additives and Special Fuels of Total Specialties USA, Inc.
