The Quantum oil range, exclusively available through TPS, is to be increased to 19 with two new products. This will make it the largest selection of Quantum oils ever available to the TPS customer network. The first of the new oils — set to be available from April — is the Ultra FPW 5W-30. A premium performance oil, it has been developed to meet the new Stellantis specification FPW9.55535/03, now required for many DV5 and EB2 engines. As such, the Ultra FPW 5W-30 provides a large car parc coverage for this grade and with its high protection formulation mitigating against wear and dirt, it is one of the premium oil options in the range. The second new oil, the Ultra PSA OW-20, is a low viscosity grade designed to help lower emissions by reducing fuel consumption. It has been developed for PSA engines, along with specifications for other Stellantis engines not covered by Ultra FPW 5W-30. Ultra PSA 0W-20 features Fuchs advanced circular technology, which helps reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, resulting in a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional oils. It also provides optimum performance and engine protection by preventing spark plug fouling, reducing deposits in the combustion chamber and the exhaust gas aftertreatment system — offering a mix of sustainability combined with performance. Josh Milford, VW aftersales products manager, said: “With two new oils added to the range, Quantum oil now has 96% coverage for the UK car parc and holds approvals and recommendations for use in a variety of modern vehicles, including hybrids, and across a range of manufacturers. “Each and every Quantum oil product is manufactured to the highest quality and designed to operate under the toughest conditions.” Milford said the LongLife, Platinum, Ultra and Synta oil sub-brands provide a significant choice of options suitable for both petrol and diesel cars, and for vehicles with long service intervals and specific engine requirements. “With such a comprehensive range of products comes the reassurance for customers that, whatever the requirements of their vehicle fleet and servicing needs, TPS will have an oil option for them.” TPS is also rolling out specific training for Quantum oil across its network to ensure customers receive the best advice and recommendations. In addition, TPS can provide customers managing vehicle fleets with the opportunity to rationalise their current oil needs into a smaller number of bespoke oil products. This service ensures the correct oil is still chosen for the customer’s fleet whilst being as efficient as possible with the number of oil grades selected. TPS is also increasing its sustainable packaging options, with a new one litre pouch for oil products that can be recycled and which offers significant savings compared to plastic equivalents of 43.51kg of plastic per 1,000 units. The new 1L pouch adds to existing sustainable packaging options, such as the Cube, which is a single-use, recyclable packaging system. The Cube, available in 1L, 5L and 20L pack sizes, is made from a strong, durable, cardboard outer that can be flat packed and disposed of along with normal recycling waste. The Quantum oils range is available from your local TPS centre. https://tps.trade/products
