How Motor Oil Works?

Victories are celebrated with Total lubricants every day. Thrilling victories, that make our childhood dreams come true. And then there are the everyday victories, those that make us proud of pursuing the challenges we face day in, day out.

Today, we will take you behind the scenes and reveal some of the secrets of Total lubricants.

Thanks to their performance, Total lubricants remove impurities, protect from wear and corrosion, act as sealing agents and reduce temperature, making for greater output. Lubricants limit friction by facilitating the free movement of multiple-mechanical parts that come into contact with each other.

In fact, Total lubricants alone account for up to 35 % of the engine cooling function.

For more than 100 years now, Total Lubricants has been innovating to extend the lifecycle of your engine by protecting it from wear and corrosion, to reduce fuel consumption thanks to a dedicated Fuel Economy range and to optimise vehicle maintenance costs, through less frequent oil changes.

By using Total lubricants you are taking good care of all the vehicle's key mechanical centres - engine, transmission, brakes, boxes and axles

… And perform under the toughest operating conditions…

... for every market segment: from two-wheeled light vehicles to transport, construction, agricultural equipment, drilling and mining activities, leisure craft, waterways and fishing.

The Total Lubricant range was initially developed for racing and benefits from cutting-edge research. Developed in close cooperation with our automotive partners, they are constantly devolving and increasingly innovative!

Our lubricants are approved and recommended by a large number of vehicle manufacturers and are suited to all their vehicles. For now and in the future, Total Lubricants is committed to developing a range of products that comply with environmental standards, are energy efficient and reduce emissions of CO2.
