Quartz INEO HTC is a low-SAPS synthetic oil built specifically for Peugeot, Citroën, and DS group vehicles operating in high-ambient-temperature markets, carrying the PSA B71 2290 and B71 2297 homologations. It is built to ACEA C3 / API SN PLUS and is not a general-purpose substitute on non-PSA-group platforms — check that your vehicle actually calls for one of these two PSA codes.

OEM specifications and approvals
Officially approved
The manufacturer's own product documentation states these as licensed, tested approvals — not a general recommendation.
Is this oil compatible with your car?
Viscosity alone does not determine whether an oil is right for your engine. Compatibility depends on the exact OEM approval your manufacturer requires, your engine's build, the model year, and the market the car was sold in — the same nominal viscosity can carry different approvals in different regions. Check your owner's manual or use OilFinderPro below to confirm the requirement for your specific vehicle before buying.
