Quartz Ineo Xtra EC6 0W-20 – the ultimate engine protection
As workshops move into the busy spring and summer servicing period, demand continues to grow for engine oils that meet the latest OEM specifications while supporting fuel efficiency, emissions control and extended service intervals.
Quartz Ineo Xtra EC6 0W-20 from TotalEnergies is an advanced synthetic engine oil developed for the newest generation of petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles from premium manufacturers.
Its advanced formulation helps reduce friction to improve fuel economy while delivering outstanding engine protection. Designed specifically for modern downsized and hybrid powertrains, it meets the latest ACEA C6 / C5, API SP and ILSAC GF-6A performance standards and provides protection against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI).
Why the ACEA C6 specification matters
ACEA C6 is one of the most recent European engine oil specifications, developed to meet the evolving requirements of modern engines. It is intended for high-performance petrol and diesel engines requiring low-viscosity oils and is particularly suited to turbocharged, direct-injection and hybrid vehicles.
ACEA C6 oils help to:
- Extend engine life by reducing wear
- Improve fuel efficiency through reduced friction
- Lower emissions and support after-treatment systems
- Provide protection for turbochargers and high-temperature operation
The specification introduced additional performance tests beyond ACEA C5, including new assessments for fuel efficiency, LSPI protection, turbocharger wear and turbocharger compressor deposit control (TCCD). To achieve ACEA C6 approval, oils must pass rigorous testing for wear protection, oxidation resistance, deposit control and thermal stability.
OEM approvals for modern vehicles
Quartz Ineo Xtra EC6 0W-20 meets & exceeds the requirements of the latest OEM specifications and is approved by leading manufacturers including:
- Mercedes-Benz MB-Approval 229.72 (retro-compatible with 229.71)
- Opel/Vauxhall OV 040 1547 – A20
- Ford WSS-M2C947-B1, WSS-M2C962-A1 & WSS-M2C-954-A1
- Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.03.5006
- Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE
- Aston Martin Twin Turbo V12 engines (AE31, AE34)
- Meets Fiat 9.55535-GSX and Chrysler MS-12145 requirements
These approvals make it a strong choice for workshops servicing a wide range of modern vehicles.
Key benefits for workshops and drivers
