In Pakistan, Total PARCO is marketing TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 with 5w-30 (Fully Synthetic), i have not seen 0w-30 on their website or in market.
» Total Quartz 9000Total Parco Pakistan Ltd

5w-30 is also recommended one for your engine. Go for it, you can easily buy at any good shop.Usual price is Rs. 2600 - 2700 for 4 Litre pack but nowadays some dealers r offering some promotion scheme(Coupons with discounted price)

Total is much better than Zic products

Total Quartz 9000 Fully Synthetic 5W-30 is a great oil. Better than Shell Helix HX7 5W-30 Synthetic (Semi Synthetic) and also same if not better than Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic 5W40 and Caltex/Havoline Fully Synthetic 5W40. Have not tried nor will ZIC X7 and ZIC X9 but have heard they are so so as used in our official cars XLi 1300 / GLi 1300 / Cultus 1000 / City Ivtec 1300 fleets. For GLi i would recommend any TMO Oil like Petron Plus 10W30 or TGMO 5W30 or 5W50 Taglon. If not go for Shell Helix HX7 5W30. For the topic the oil Quartz 9000 is awesome.

Sorry it's typing mistake. It's 5w30
So far q9000 performance is good.

Guyz suggest shell hx7 or total q9000?

@eagleshot87

Now, Toyota Synthetic oil is available in Rs. 3000 for 4 Litre from daraz.pk. This is 5w-50 so it will be good decision
