TotalEnergies Rubia Optima oil range is the answer to the latest challenges of truck and specialty engine builders. Due to its properties, it is also perfectly suited to older units and in many cases successfully replaces Rubia Tir oils.
Unprecedented exhaust cleanliness, lower fuel consumption, downsizing and extended service intervals - these are the features that distinguish the latest truck engines. This technical revolution has forced the development of completely new engine oils. One of the most advanced products in this class is Rubia Optima. It's a range of oils that bring the technology of securing and lubricating sinuous engines to a higher, previously unattainable level. The green transformation is talked about loudly mainly in the context of passenger cars. Meanwhile, a lot is also happening in the heavy-duty class, i.e. in professional transportation.
The same horsepower that used to be achieved from 17-liter V8 engines is being obtained from 13- and even 11-liter 6-cylinder engines. Average fuel consumption drops - from 32-35 l/100 km to 26-28 l/100 km. Maintenance intervals have also been almost doubled. This could not have been achieved without such modern oils as Rubia Optima. This oil was developed together with engine builders.
An additional challenge was compatibility with exhaust gas after-treatment systems being introduced, such as DPF or SCR, as well as biofuels. The idea is that, on the one hand, the engine oil combustion products should not clog the filters, and on the other hand, the possible contact of the biofuel with the oil should not cause changes in its properties - such as gelation.
It should be emphasized at this point that for engines that require the latest generation of oils - such as Rubia Optima - older, cheaper substitutes must not be used. Such economies can result in increased fuel consumption, increased oil consumption, loss of oil properties before the replacement date, damage to lubrication and exhaust after-treatment systems, and simply engine seizure. It's important to know that “oil innovations” are not marketing, but completely new formulations necessary for new designs that achieve green goals.
A clear sign of the new design requirements are the new, stricter approvals/acceptances published by virtually all major engine manufacturers such as MAN, SCANIA DAIMLER TRUCK, VOLVO, DAF, MACK, RENAULT TRUCKS, CUMMIN. These requirements are also specified in the latest API and ACEA quality specifications - these are API: CK-4 and ACEA: E8 and ACEA E11.
Inno-Boost technology is, in short, a composition of innovative oil bases and appropriate additive compositions. Thanks to these solutions, Rubia Optima oils are distinguished by the following advantages:
Rubia Optima oils already have more than 200 approvals from manufacturers of various trucks. Many of these approvals were issued not only after laboratory tests, but also after road tests.
TotalEnergies aims to optimize transportation costs and reduce service costs for users. This is why the latest Rubia Optima oils are also suitable for older engines and can successfully replace the older Rubia Tir oils. The idea is to reduce inventory and increase the durability of older engines with new oil technologies.
TotalEnergies Rubia Optima 3500 FE 5W-30
Synthetic, Low Saps oil for the latest EURO VI engines designed for almost all brands on the market. Its quality is confirmed by the highest international specifications API: CK-4, ACEA E8 and E11, as well as a whole range of the highest builder approvals such as MAN: M 3777, SCANIA: LDF-4, DAIMLER TRUCK AG: DTFR 15C120 (MB: 228.52); VOLVO: VDS 4.5, Cummins: CES 20086.
The oil additionally meets the requirements of DAF: LD and Iveco TLS E9/CK-4. Rubia Optima 3500 FE 5W-30 is distinguished by its exceptional oxidation resistance thanks to which it gives a high safety limit when using maximum oil change intervals.
TotalEnergies Rubia Optima 3100 10W-40
This is the successor of a very well-known and appreciated oil on the Polish market, namely Rubia Tir 8900 10W-40. This new oil, although semi-synthetic, is hardly inferior to Optima 3500 FE 5W-30 oil in terms of specifications and approvals. As confirmed by the highest international specifications API: CK-4, ACEA E8 and E11, as well as a whole range of the highest builder approvals such as DAIMLER TRUCK AG: DTFR 15C120 (MB: 228.52); VOLVO: VDS 4.5, Cummins: CES 20086.
Therefore, it is an excellent truck oil with excellent value for money.
