Does the one say "MC3" ... I predict much confusion over labeling...
According to Total's website, the "MC3" version is the newer formulation. Basically, "SN" vs "SN Plus". It also meets Dexos 2 while the earlier formulation did not. It's also approved by Hyundai/Kia now.Does the one say "MC3" ... I predict much confusion over labeling...
They kinda do. They have a stake in Arkema - which does have presence in the Chemical Corridor of TX/LA.yet they have essentially no presence in the US
yet they have essentially no presence in the US
It's a Group 3 oil, a decent full saps A3/B4 5W-40 but nothing really that special.In regards to the Energy 9000 5w-40.
Any of the more knowledgeable guys on this forum look into the msds/pds of this oil? Anything stand out that would make it any better than the oils commonly available at Walmart that carries the same approvals???
I too walked into Aap and saw it behind the counter with a big price on it as well as on Amazon. They sure are proud of this oil asking that price. At that price point, is it a healthy amount of group 4/5 with unicorn tears add pack, or the next LiquiMoly type of advertising?
Thank you.It's a Group 3 oil, a decent full saps A3/B4 5W-40 but nothing really that special.
I can download it myself, you are right. However me looking at it vs some of the guys on here looking at it are two different things. I'm still learning, some of these guys are full on tribologists.You can easily down the production data sheets from many of the oil companies that sell the specification of the oil you require and then choose your favourite brand.
In my opinion any brand that meets the international specifications of the total oil would be very much the same.
I have compared the total and the Castrol Edge equivalent and for the massive price difference I would choose the Castrol given the standards are the same.
FCPA big boy for sure …Total is one of the big boys in the oil and energy business.
yet they have essentially no presence in the US
They have had a small, if marginal, presence at motorsports related dealerships and repair shops as a boutique Euro oil...
No different than Liqui Moly, which was once marginal and now slightly less so in the US-Canada market...
They have plenty of market share elsewhere and they are focused on fuels as much as lubricants. And they probably will be bigger than LM soon just as Motul is expanding here...The difference is that Total is a supermajor, while L-M is much smaller. In fact, they actually have more presence than Total
A supermajor having minimal presence in the US is quite surprising given the US market for oil.
Same here for a few seconds, I have never heard of this stuff.You can tell Im not a Euro guy. I thought this was a thread about the quantity of oil at a specific AAP, written by a poster with bad spelling.
