TotalEnergies Pioneers New API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 Certified Engine Oils in India

PRNewswire
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 6: TotalEnergies Marketing India Private Limited (TEMIPL) announces the launch of its new and improved range of Quartz car engine oils in India that meets the latest API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 performance standards, set by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC). These advanced lubricants are designed to deliver significant improvements in fuel efficiency, engine protection and long-term vehicle performance. The launch marks a significant leap forward in lubricant technology and reaffirms TotalEnergies' commitment to innovation.
The new lineup includes Quartz 9000 Xtra Future XT 0W-16, Quartz 9000 Future GF-7 0W-20, and Quartz 7000 Future GF-7 5W-30.
These premium oils are specifically 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 backward 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 standards1. 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 16% higher fuel efficiency versus the Fuel Economy Improvement Engine Test required in the latest ILSAC GF-7 standard2. In addition, the engine oils help vehicles meet stricter emissions regulations by minimizing harmful deposits and reducing overall vehicle emissions.
Commenting on the launch, Viken Najarian, CEO, Lubricants Division, TEMIPL said, "This is a proud moment for TotalEnergies in India. With the introduction of our GF-7 compliant Quartz engine oil range, we are not only setting a new industry benchmark but also delivering on our promise to lead with innovation. Blended at TotalEnergies' facility in India, the new Quartz range ensures local availability while meeting quality global standards, delivering reliable premium lubricants for our consumers."
