TotalEnergies unveils new lubricants for Asia Pacific and Middle East
TotalEnergies Marketing Asia-Pacific Middle East announced the launch of its next generation of engine oils that meet the latest API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 performance standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Lubricants Standardisation and Approval Committee (ILSAC). It claims these new lubricants are designed to deliver significant improvements in fuel efficiency, engine protection and long-term vehicle performance.
The new line-up includes Quartz 9000 Future FGC 5W-30, Quartz 9000 Future GF-7 0W-20/5W-30 & Quartz 7000 Future GF-7 5W-30 that are engineered to meet the demands of modern engines, including turbocharged and gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems. They are formulated to perform under higher pressures and temperatures while remaining compatible with older engines, offering flexibility and convenience for drivers and automotive service providers.
The new specifications deliver 40% improved protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) throughout the oil drain interval, 20% better timing chain wear protection, and 7% enhanced piston cleanliness—each benchmarked against industry standards. Together, these benefits
contribute to longer engine life, reduced maintenance frequency, and lower repair costs for drivers.
The new range also delivers enhanced fuel economy and more cost savings for drivers—achieving up to 11% higher fuel efficiency versus SAE XW-30 industry standards, and 16% improvement over SAE XW-20. In addition, the engine oils help vehicles meet stricter emissions regulations by minimizing harmful deposits and reducing overall vehicle emissions, it claims.
The new lubricant specifications are blended in five TotalEnergies’ lubricant blending plants in Asia Pacific and Middle East, including its largest lubricant blending plant in Singapore.
South Korea and China are the first markets to launch the new range of products in April 2025, and they will be rolled out in more than 40 markets across Asia Pacific and the Middle East this year, the company says.
