To protect car engines, it is more important than ever to use a high quality engine oil that meets the specifications stated by the vehicle manufacturer.
Car Engine lubricants are more complex than ever...
Increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are never far from peoples’ conversations within the industry.
The continuing drive to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly future has forced significant changes in engine hardware and aftertreatment systems.
For new passenger cars to achieve the ever tightening emissions standards, the engine lubricant is having to perform in hotter and more severe operating conditions.
The widespread use of diesel particulate filters (DPFs) is being followed by gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) in petrol vehicles, removing small but harmful particulate matter from the vehicle’s exhaust gases.
Engine lubricants with lower levels of sulphated ash, phosphorous and sulphur (Low SAPS) are formulated to ensure after treatment devices perform efficiently throughout their lifetime.
In addition to original equipment manufacturer oil specifications, lower SAPS lubricants are generally aligned with the ACEA ‘C’ categories of service-fill oils. In contrast, the use of higher SAPS lubricants (ACEA ‘A’ and ‘B’ categories) could lead to reduced power, lower efficiency and ultimately blockage of the particulate filter, along with an expensive yet avoidable repair bill for the vehicle owner.
The drive for increased fuel efficiency has led to the development of lower viscosity engine lubricants. Whilst today’s well accepted SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine oil delivers fuel economy gains against older 10W-40 grades, the advancement of engine hardware and lubricants means that this will be superseded by more efficient and higher performance SAE 0W-20 and 0W-16 grades of oil in the future.
The move to lower viscosity grade engine lubricants to increase fuel efficiency is only going to continue and unfortunately, the days of stocking just one or two engine oils to cover the majority of vehicles have gone.
Unlike trying to fit an incorrect component, where the differences are usually obvious, putting the wrong oil into a customer's vehicle is easily done and can cause serious issues. It is now more important than ever to use the correct manufacturer specified oil in each vehicle. YMF Car Parts have the latest information available to ensure you supply the correct grade.

What is LSPI?
LSPI stands for Low Speed Pre-Ignition
Today’s engines are smaller, more efficient, more advanced and more powerful. But those engines, especially turbocharged gasoline direct-injection (TGDI) engines, also create extreme operating conditions. LSPI most commonly occurs at low speeds during a period of rapid acceleration. LSPI is caused by droplets or particles of fuel and oil in the combustion chamber that ignite prior to spark, resulting in uncontrolled, abnormal combustion which can cause potential engine damage or failure.
