What is the difference between Quartz 5000 and 7000?
1 Answers
Quartz 7000 performs better in terms of low fuel consumption and cold-start performance, while Quartz 5000 has slightly better anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties. Both Quartz 5000 and Quartz 7000 are Total's semi-synthetic lubricants, but Quartz 5000 is slightly lower in grade compared to Quartz 7000. Even though both have an API rating of SN, Quartz 5000 also has two SM ratings. In terms of cost-performance ratio, Quartz 5000 is higher than Quartz 7000. Quartz 7000: Although Quartz 7000 is a semi-synthetic lubricant, it also features smooth performance in reducing fuel consumption and cold starts. Even under harsh driving conditions, it ensures excellent engine power performance. Additionally, Quartz 7000 offers good anti-wear protection and long-lasting engine cleaning performance. Quartz 7000 has an API rating of SN and comes in two viscosity grades: 5W-30 and 10W-40. Quartz 5000: Like Quartz 7000, Quartz 5000 also has advantages such as reduced fuel consumption and smooth cold starts. It also features excellent anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties, as well as protection for turbochargers. It can be understood as the predecessor to Quartz 7000, with slightly lower performance. Its API and viscosity grades are SN 5W-30, SN 10W-40, SM 5W-30, and SM 10W-40.
