Total Quartz 9000 Future 5W30

[guard]

I am currently running Mobil 1 5w30 in a 2008 Saturn Astra 80k miles. I was wondering if anyone has any experience using Total Quartz 9000 Future 5W30? How does it compare vs the Mobil 1 and say PUP?

It appears to be SL rated, which means it has higher (perhaps than necessary) levels of phosphorous and zinc additives.

API SL is from 12 years ago.

Where did you even get it? Total doesn't really do any business in the US. If it's easy for you to get, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it, and it's A5/B5 which is good since the Astra is a European car, and that it will go the full OCI suggested by the computer. Does the Astra have the OLM?

Appears to be certified for a bunch of European vehicles.

I have approximately 1500 miles on a Total FGC 5w30 oil change. I think it makes my 2015 Equinox with 2.4 ltr Ecotec smoother than the factory fill or Quaker State Ultimate Durability. I bought a case of 12 off Amazon.com. I like it.

Yes Leonardo that is the link.

It also has the olm in it.

In that case, even conventional will work.

If your car runs fine on M1, I doubt you'll see any improvement besides the excitement of switching to a French oil.

I was curious about this oil as well.. but there isn't too much out there on it. The thing that sctually got my atention was the advertisements I saw while watching baseball highlights. Their logo is all over the place in Dodger Stadium. Yet the only place I could find it was Amazon.

I assume it isn't worth the extra cost over Penn. Ultra or M1..?
