My WC wrench buddy has always sold ELF oil, loves it. I put it in the DD's works fine.

About a year ago they changed the name to Total, I wonder who's marketing genius came up with this wonderfully exciting name.

Now there changing to FUCHS...who's going to want oil that fuchs your engine?

Love the rims...but the name as a brand name? doesn't translate well in english.

Isn't ELF/Total a French Company? Why would they use a name that is associated with German stuff?

"Elf oil goes nuts" - sounds like midget porn.

also a quick google seems to indicate "Fuchs" is a french name not just german for "fox"

I worked with them two years ago on a sponsorship deal. Total is a French petroleum company - Elf is the name of thier oil brand. As for the name Fuchs who knows where that comes from.

I dont know but I get a fill of 5w40 for my GTi 20$ in total 9000 quartz oil.

The amsoil is 7$ a qt x 5 and motul?

Well I'd have to trade a child for a motul fill.

best stuff I have found per dollar

There is a German company named "Fuchs Petrolub AG" that uses the logo you list...

And there is the French company named "Total"...

I can't find any relationship between the two?

Maybe I am confusing them but the logos are real close...but then I am half blind.

Not only is "Fuchs" a German word, but so is "Elf" and "Total" ...

I grew up with "Elf" oil, they used to do a lot of racing sponsoring in Europe in the '70s ...

I don't know if the stuff is any good, but I would pay to watch these Fuchin girls wrestle in oil
