Stellantis and TotalEnergies launch sustainable engine lubricant
Stellantis, one of the world’s leading automakers, and TotalEnergies Lubrifiants, a leading global manufacturer and marketer of lubricants, have unveiled Quartz EV3R 10W-40, the first engine lubricant in Europe made from 100% regenerated oil. This product, part of Stellantis’ SUSTAINera RECYCLE range, underscores the company’s commitment to circular economy principles and environmental sustainability.
Developed through a strategic partnership, the Quartz EV3R 10W-40 offers the same performance as lubricants based on virgin oils while significantly reducing environmental impact. The lubricant reduces engine wear by up to 46% compared to industry standards and improves piston cleanliness by 20%. Additionally, the product’s carbon footprint is up to 50% lower than previous generations.
The engine oil, compatible with both gasoline and diesel engines, is designed to meet the performance standards of various car manufacturers and is available across Europe. Its packaging, made from 50% recycled plastic, aligns with the eco-design principles of both companies.
Alison Jones, senior vice president, Global Circular Economy at Stellantis, highlighted the innovation’s alignment with Stellantis’ sustainability goals. “Within Stellantis’ commitment in sustainability, this manufacturer-approved lubricant in partnership with TotalEnergies Lubrifiants is one more example of our innovation for a better future. As part of our SUSTAINera range of after-sales automotive products, it leverages on circular economy principles enabling automotive industry waste to be regenerated and reused.”
Pierre Duhot, senior vice president of Lubricants and Specialities at TotalEnergies said: “TotalEnergies Lubrifiants has a longstanding partnership with Stellantis. We are therefore very proud to launch Quartz EV3R 10W-40, the first product in the Quartz EV3R range, in close collaboration with SUSTAINera. We are also very confident about future developments following our recent acquisition of Tecoil, a Finnish company specialised in the production of highest quality re-refined base oils (RRBOs)”.
