Lubricants specialist Total has announced that its Rubia TIR 9900FE 5W-30 engine oil has received further OEM approval, from Scania, to add to its suitability for use in commercial vehicle engines from Cummins, DAF, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo, along with in certain gas engines.
The key Euro 6 oil is also backward compatible for lubricating all types of engines including Euro 5 and earlier.
It is suitable for engines regardless of whether they are fitted with post-treatment systems, but it is formulated to work particularly well with engines that have after-treatment, including SCR, EGR and DPFs. It is a synthetic lubricant.
Besides its low-SAPS technology and fuel economy benefits, Rubia TIR 9900FE offers a range of other positives including outstanding engine protection, excellent anti-wear performance, first-rate thermal stability, and easier cold starting.
Total claims that when used in combination with fuel economy-optimised gearbox oil, the Rubia product contributes to a fuel saving of up to 3%.
Additional advantages include reduced maintenance costs, a cleaner engine, extended oil drain intervals, excellent piston cleanliness performance and an increased lifespan for post-treatment systems.
