Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) or low-speed engine knock is one of the most serious problems associated with today’s Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (TGDI) engines in brand new as well as older vehicles. The pressure spikes caused by pre-ignition can cause sever and often catastrophic damage to pistons, timing chains, head gaskets, bearings, etc., Leading to costly repairs or engine replacements. Studies concluded that certain elements commonly found in motor oils and other oil additives contribute to LSPI frequency. Lubegard Engine Oil Protectant for Turbocharged Engines reduces LSPI and protects TGDI engines.
