Low-Speed Pre-Ignition: An abnormal combustion event that occurs in some turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engines at low engine speeds and high loads. This phenomenon involves the uncontrolled ignition of the air-fuel mixture before the spark plug fires, potentially causing severe engine damage. Specific engine oils are formulated to mitigate LSPI.
