When it comes to maintaining your vehicle, every car owner faces one big question: "How do I find reliable auto parts without breaking the bank?" Whether you're dealing with a check engine light, a sluggish transmission, or just looking to upgrade your car’s performance, knowing where to start can make all the difference.

At Clifford Auto Parts, we’ve worked with thousands of car enthusiasts and everyday drivers across the U.S. to provide premium-quality Engine Control Modules (ECMs), Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs), and other essential components. Here’s what we’ve learned about keeping your car in peak condition—and how the right parts can save you time, money, and stress.

The Lifespan of Your Vehicle Depends on the Right Parts

Let’s face it: Not all auto parts are created equal. Cheap, low-quality parts might save you a few dollars upfront, but they often lead to costly repairs and frustration down the road. Here’s why investing in the right components matters:

  • Improved Performance: High-quality parts ensure your engine, transmission, and other systems run smoothly.
  • Increased Safety: Faulty parts can lead to dangerous situations on the road. Reliable components minimize the risk of breakdowns.
  • Long-Term Savings: Durable, well-made parts reduce the need for frequent replacements, saving you money in the long run.

Signs You Need a Replacement Part

Not sure if it’s time to replace a component in your car? Here are some red flags to watch for:

  1. Check Engine Light: This is often linked to issues with the ECM, PCM, or other key systems.
  2. Erratic Shifting: A sign that your Transmission Control Module (TCM) might need attention.
  3. Poor Fuel Efficiency: If your gas mileage drops, your car’s engine control systems could be the culprit.
  4. Unusual Noises: Clicking, grinding, or knocking sounds can signal worn-out parts that need immediate replacement.

      Valvoline announced the launch of its new passenger car motor oil formulas for both the U.S. and Canada. The company said these formulas surpass the updated International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) GF-7 standards, which formally went into effect on March 31.
      Valvoline added that its current ILSAC GF-6 certified synthetic
      link hidden, please login to view motor oils already meet all requirements of the new ILSAC GF-7 specification. The company said its engine lab in Ashland, Ky. allows Valvoline to perform critical engine sequence tests that help define industrywide performance requirements every five to seven years. “These days, everything seems to move just a little bit faster, and our engines have to work even harder to keep up with the pace of our busy lives,” said Dr. Michael Warholic, senior global technology director at Valvoline Global Operations. “By helping car owners maintain their vehicles’ performance and longevity, Valvoline’s dedication to the development of the ILSAC GF-7 standards is protecting engines not just for today, but for the needs of tomorrow as well, delivering improved performance levels in almost every area.”

      link hidden, please login to view said its ILSAC GF-7 full synthetic technology was tested in a single engine for over 500,000 miles across three years without the need to replace any critical component, while significantly reducing sludge and deposits compared to an ILSAC GF-6 quality oil. The ILSAC GF-7 specification continues the A and B designations started with the ILSAC GF-6 upgrade in 2020. The ILSAC GF-7A designation applies to all SAE 0W-20 viscosity grades and heavier. ILSAC GF-7A is backward compatible with all previous GF-6A, GF-5 and older ILSAC specifications. The ILSAC GF-7B designation applies to SAE 0W-16 viscosity grade oils and is backward compatible to ILSAC GF-6B only.
      As ILSAC GF-6 designated motor oils are phased out of distribution channels after the March 31, 2025, GF-7 launch, Valvoline said its new motor oils meeting the ILSAC GF-7A standard will include the “Starburst” API mark on all bottles, while ILSAC GF-7B-compliant oils will have the API “Shield.” Oils meeting API SP will feature an updated API “Donut” with SP designation.
      “Advances in engine oil performance wouldn’t be possible without the dedication, expertise and leadership of our Valvoline engineers and scientists, who work tirelessly to help define and shape the industry standards, continually raising the bar to benefit us all,” said Warholic.
