Domestic Gasoline Engine Oil Specifications
If it’s been more than a year since last oil change, the IOLM will display a reminder message, regardless of mileage.
Do Oxygen Sensors Generate Electricity?
They are made of zirconium oxide, a chemical compound used to form the sensor’s thermal-driven electrochemical fuel cell.
Talking To Customers About Oxygen Sensors
One of the toughest components to sell as a maintenance item, or even a replacement item, is an oxygen sensor.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation Operation and Diagnostics
Since exhaust gas does not burn, this lowers the combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions from the engine.
EGR, Secondary Air Injection And Emissions Management
EGR systems put a small amount of inert gas into the combustion chamber to control the temperatures.

VIDEO: Why Do Spark Plugs Have A Smaller Gap?
A tighter spark plug gap can increase power and reduce emissions. This video is sponsored by NGK and NTK.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Changes
Modern diesel exhaust systems are complex and they include multiple sub systems to keep exhaust clean.
Chasing The Perfect Combustion Event
The perfect internal combustion engine would put the exact amount of fuel and air into the combustion chamber.
Oxygen Sensor And Catalyst Efficiency
The catalyst efficiency monitor verifies that the catalytic converter is operating at a high enough efficiency rating to keep exhaust emissions within predetermined values. The PCM compares the signals from the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors to determine the state of the converter. These “tests” are called the readiness monitors.
