Thanks to continuous innovation, Total offers motor oils with extended oil change intervals, significantly increasing the mileage between oil changes—this can exceed 100,000 km for commercial vehicles.
With fewer oil changes when using Total motor oil, there is also less waste oil produced. Total motor oils meet the requirements of the most modern, low-emission diesel engines in commercial vehicles (Euro 4 and Euro 3). Another advantage is reduced maintenance costs, as fewer visits to service centers are needed.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Benefits
Leading automakers are developing engines that consume less fuel, which translates to reduced CO₂ emissions and a lower greenhouse effect. Total offers fuel-efficient oils that achieve 3-8% fuel savings compared to conventional oils, suitable for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
