Total Quartz 5-40 in the 330 and 740 for me. LL-01 and it has a better additive package for protecting your bearings

How does this compare to the add package of Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5w-40 (LL01), I wonder...
The prize on amazon ($36 or so for 6 qts) is great with subscription for the Pennz. and I have run it a couple of times and like it.

I believe it used to be Elf-Xcellium Full-Tec or something....
It seems the Total Energy 0w/30 is a FULL (more or almost all of Grp IV) synthetic, and the 5w/40 is a group III (less of a real synthetic, despite the labeling by Total as a full syn) oil.

Total is apparently pretty big in Europe. This is the same stuff my BMW/porsche mechanic swears by and put in my car at my last oil change, except mine was called Quartz 9000. Not sure if there is a difference between "energy" and what I have in my car now. How do you find out about the additive package and how it compares to other oils?Total Quartz 5-40 in the 330 and 740 for me. LL-01 and it has a better additive package for protecting your bearings

I have heard of similar issues with high mileage cars. My MB Indie told me I should switch to dino oil in my C55 - he recommends dino oil for high mileage MB. I work in the Pulp and Paper industry and we have some gearboxes that are ancient - over 40 years old still running. My maintenance mechanics refused to change the oil in those ancient gear boxes - they just kept them topped off with oil. Urban legend at the plant was that if you changed the oil, you washed out the crud that was keeping the ancient gearboxes "sealed" and they leaked like sieves and then soon failed. May be legend but those ancient gearboxes are still running. I wonder if synthetic oil does the same thing with car engines (and transmissions).
