How in the world does oil combat LSPI? Sounds as if the oil can adjust the timing.I only use ILSAC GF-6A standard oil on my 2019 Civic Si now. The popularization of turbocharged engines has led to a new focus on turbocharger-specific standards. The primary purpose of GF-6 is to combat problems with LSPI (low speed premature ignition), a common issue with turbocharged engines. There are two types of ILSAC GF-6 oil available, so make sure you get the right one for your vehicle. GF-6A will cover existing ILSAC viscosity grades (i.e. 0W-20) and GF-6B will represent 0W-16 viscosity grade oils only.
