Direct injection and turbocharged gasoline engines require oil that can withstand intensive operation and extreme conditions. TotalEnergies Quartz 9000 Energy 0W-40 is a premium product designed for the most demanding engines – both those used in production sports cars and in modern turbocharged direct injection designs. The uniqueness of the product is confirmed by approvals from the most prestigious car manufacturers.
Proven quality: approvals from major manufacturers
Quartz 9000 Energy 0W-40 is an oil whose parameters meet (and often exceed) the most stringent requirements of design offices:
- Aston Martin – approval for 4.0 l Twin Turbo V8 and naturally aspirated 6.0 l V12 engines;
- Mercedes-Benz – MB-Approval 229.5 I viscosity 0W-40 means approval for AMG engines;
- Ford: WSS-M2C937-A – special approval for FORD RS engines;
- Renault: 0710 – recommendation for turbocharged gasoline engines.
These types of approvals are an unambiguous recommendation from the engineers who designed the engines. Choosing an oil approved by the manufacturer is crucial for the durability and performance of the engine.
Advanced protection against knocking (LSPI)
Quartz 9000 Energy 0W-40 meets the stringent API SP standard, which defines, among other things, requirements for protection against LSPI (Low Speed Pre-Ignition). LSPI, or low-speed pre-ignition, is a serious problem in modern direct-injection turbocharged engines. TotalEnergies oil effectively reduces the risk of its occurrence, protecting the engine from premature wear and costly repairs.
Age Resistance Technology: engine durability and cleanliness for years
The product uses ART (Age Resistance Technology), an innovative formula that increases the oil's resistance to aging, oxidation, and deposit formation. In tests conducted on Mercedes-Benz engines built on the OM 646 unit, the oil showed six times less valve cam wear than ACEA standards predict. In addition, the test engine had 30% less high-temperature deposits on the pistons than the limits (MHT4 test).

Tests have shown that the oil is more than three times more resistant to oxidation than the requirements of the API SN test
In a test on a Mercedes-Benz engine (OM 646), cam wear was six times lower than the ACEA requirements
Wide range of applications
Quartz 9000 Energy 0W-40 is suitable for both modern direct injection gasoline engines and more classic engine designs. It is suitable for use in harsh climatic and road conditions, offering optimal lubrication properties during cold starts and at high temperatures or speeds.
Even more benefits for users
- Effective engine protection, ensuring long-term operation of all its parts – the oil's durability exceeds the requirements of ACEA TU3MS tests by up to 20%;
- Optimisation of three-way catalytic converters, including protection against clogging with deposits, leading to a reduction in NOx, CO and HC emissions;
- Extended service life – up to 35% higher oxidation resistance than the ACEA TU5 test requirements;
- Best engine protection against deposits in all circumstances – from the moment of start-up, including cold starts and extremely high temperatures;
