Recently, Stellantis launched a recall campaign for 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5R) engines due to premature wear of the oil bath timing chain. This issue mainly affects vehicles produced before February 2023. To address this issue, the new Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30 engine oil has been developed by TotalEnergies, in partnership with Stellantis.
Features of Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30
Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30 is an advanced, high-performance synthetic engine oil specifically designed for 1.5 BlueHDi turbodiesel engines. This oil complies with the new Euro 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 standards, and is also suitable for diesel and petrol engines requiring PSA B71 2290 approval.
The result of joint research by the Stellantis and TotalEnergies R&D technical teams, Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30 uses an innovative technology that extends engine life and optimizes internal cleanliness. The Age-Resistance technology of this lubricant offers exceptional protection against wear, while reducing CO2 emissions, thus keeping the engine younger for longer.
Implications for Warranty
One of the most critical aspects for owners of affected vehicles is the impact on the warranty. Stellantis has clarified that the use of an oil other than Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30 could void the warranty on the timing chain. Therefore, it is essential for owners of affected vehicles to ensure that their engine uses this specific oil to keep the warranty terms intact.
What to Do if Your Vehicle is Affected
If your vehicle is affected by this recall, it is important to contact your dealer to arrange an oil change and any other necessary repairs. Correct use of Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30 is crucial to protect your engine and ensure warranty coverage in the event of a timing chain failure.
In conclusion, Quartz Ineo RCP 5W30 represents the best solution for those who own a vehicle with a 1.5 BlueHDi engine, offering advanced protection against wear and helping to maintain the reliability and performance of the engine over time.

Una catena di trasmissione va bene anche con l’olio di semi, mio suocero camminò piu di dieci anni con una vecchia opel corsa senza cambiare l’olio, quando lo fece il vecchio olio si poteva spalmare sul pane e l’auto non subì danni, è lo stesso discorso della glicemia, da 120 a 80 e tutti a prendere pasticche.
