Fuchs XTL-Technology is now being incorporated into the company’s Premium MAXX Performance engine oil as well as its Titan GT1 PRO C-3 SAE 5W-30.

The technology provides ageing stability and improved fuel-economy over the entire drain-interval due to oxidation stability.

“The improvement in fuel economy over the drain-interval is based on Fuchs XTL technology compared with quality engine oils of the same SAE viscosity grade. It prevents deposits in engines and turbo-chargers and produces up to 27% lower oil consumption due to XTL while offering longer drain-intervals,” says Fatima Moolla, Product Manager Automotive, Fuchs Lubricants SA.

“Titan Cargo MAXX 10W-40 low-SAPS guarantees optimum protection for modern diesel particulate filters and catalysts. Due to minimum evaporation loss, oil consumption and turbocharger deposits are significantly reduced.”

“The new XTL technology offers maximum performance over the entire temperature range and ensures good cold-start properties even at very low temperatures, exceeding conventional UHDP lubricants in versatility and performance.”

 

“Because of the extensive performance profile, Titan Cargo MAXX 10W-40 is also suitable for older vehicles.

“It fulfils all the latest ACEA Ex Specifications in combination with API CJ-4. In addition, the oil is miscible and compatible with conventional branded engine oils,” she says. “The oil also provides excellent wear protection even under high operation conditions, covers a wide application profile and is suited to mixed fleets.”

It displays high neutralisation behaviour against sour burning residues in combination with the latest Low-SAPS technology and fulfils all latest ACEA Ex specifications (ACEA E9/E7/E6/E4) in combination with API CJ-4 due to the excellent properties of XTL.

Titan GT1 PRO C-3 SAE 5W-30 is suited to modern passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with or without extended service intervals and specially developed for BMW, VW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles with exhaust after-treatment and turbo-charger.

“XTL-Technology offers the highest performance over the full temperature range from very low, to very high temperatures. The unique lubrication properties of XTL-Technology offer significant benefits in highly stressed engines, especially also in latest downsized aggregates or engines with stop-start-systems,” says Moolla.

“Engines with a high-power density will enjoy reliable lubrication and start easier and quicker. The product also is advantageous for cars with exhaust gas after-treatment systems such as catalysts or particulate filters, as it keeps their conversion rate high and provides better life time. XTL-Technology is proven to allow lower fuel consumption even compared to the same SAE-class,” she said.

Titan GT1 PRO C-3 SAE 5W-30 is suitable for vehicles running on petrol, diesel or gas (LPG, CNG), also in combination with up-to-date exhaust gas after-treatment systems. The product may only be used in diesel engines when also low sulphur diesel fuel is being used.
