By lubricating an engine with the right engine oil, the engine will run smoother and offer better engine durability saving you maintenance- and fuel costs.
How to avoid LSPI challenges in downsized car engines
To meet the increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel economy demands, car manufacturers are forced to downsize engines while improving their power and torque.
Preventing engine damage caused by LSPI
The increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel-economy demands have forced engine manufacturers to downsize engines while improving their power and torque. The downside of today’s smaller engines with higher power density is their risk to abnormal disruptive combustion, such as knocking and a new phenomenon called low speed pre-ignition (LSPI).
