I must say i have a hard time understanding these ACEA ratings. For a lot of cars i prefer to use a 5W-30 however is has become impossible to source an A3/B4 oil locally or even for a good price on the internet.
What kind of 5W-30 should be used in olders cars ? I am talking 90s/early 00s regular gas engines calling for something like API SG/SH/SL or ACEA A3/B3. Let's take my own car, the C180 as an exemple but this includes various Renaults, PSAs as well as some japanese and american cars.
I will take these two oils as an exemple as they are some of the most popular. What should be used and why ?
Total Quartz INEO Long Life 5W-30
Total Quartz 9000 Future NFC 5W-30
