Standard Motor Products (SMP) continues to add to its comprehensive emission-control program.
The program includes evaporative emission control (EVAP), exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) and positive crankcase ventilation components.
Standard’s emission-control program helps technicians repair and maintain these complex systems.
Standard’s EVAP program includes canister-purge solenoids, canister-purge valves, canister-vent solenoids, EVAP-system integrity modules (ESIM), fuel-vapor canisters, fuel-vapor leak-detection pumps, vapor-canister purge valves, vapor-canister vent hoses and more.
Recently released Standard EVAP components include canister-purge solenoids for 2.1 million vehicles, including the 2021-2018 Honda Accord and 2021-2019 Acura RDX, as well as fuel-vapor canisters for popular import and domestic vehicles such as the 2022-2020 Hyundai Palisade and 2019 Chevrolet Malibu.
Fuel-vapor leak-detection pumps are now available for the 2021-2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2019-2015 Volkswagen GTI. Canister-purge valve hoses recently were introduced for 11.5 million General Motors, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles.
Standard’s full EGR program includes EGR valves, control solenoids, position sensors, pressure sensors and EGR tubes. EGR valves covering an additional 4 million vehicles, including the 2023 RAM 2500 and 2021-2020 Ford Explorer, recently have been introduced. EGR control solenoids also are available for 1.1 million Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including the 2019-2015 Hyundai Sonata and 2020-2016 Kia Optima.
Standard’s crankcase program features crankcase breather hoses, crankcase filters, PCV valves, crankcase ventilation filters and more. More than 40 engine-crankcase breather hoses have been added since the beginning of the year, offering new coverage for more than 40 million vehicles. New PCV valves also have been released for General Motors, Lexus and Toyota vehicles, including the 2019-2018 Chevrolet Traverse.
Standard’s emission-control components are precision-engineered and tested for durability and OE-matching performance, according to the company. These parts undergo rigorous examination and product validation, including extensive performance benchmarking, product lifecycle testing and end-of-line testing. To ensure trouble-free operation, each component must pass comprehensive quality testing, including computer-controlled bench testing for resistance, leakage and response and flow rates, according to SMP.
“Our emission-control program offers more than 1,500 EVAP components and 4,000 products for crankcase and EGR emissions, providing our trusted partners with all of the components they need to keep vehicle emissions low,” said John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing for SMP. “Maintaining emissions-control systems with premium components is good for our industry and the planet.”

ADVANCE AUTO PARTS OFFERING STUDENTS A CHANCE TO WIN A ‘FUEL RIDE TO COLLEGE’ AND FREE ‘OFF-TO-CAMPUS’ IN-STORE SERVICES
Incoming college freshmen can enter to win a “fuel ride” – four years of free gasoline – after new national survey reveals gas is a significant financial strain for majority of students
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider, announced today that it will help advance the education of incoming college freshmen, and ease their financial burden, by awarding 10 “fuel rides” in the form of four years of free gasoline to 10 lucky winners of the “Fuel Ride to College” sweepstakes.*
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:

Advance’s “Fuel Ride to College” sweepstakes arrives right on time as prices at the pump tick up. New data from Atomik Research reveals that 67% of college students cite gasoline for their automobile as being an expense that puts the most financial strain on their wallet**, while 76% of parents of incoming freshmen say they are worried about their student’s ability to afford gas.***
Parents also have significant anxiety regarding the safety of their college students when it comes to the automobiles they operate, according to Atomik Research surveys commissioned by Advance. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of parents of incoming college freshmen feel very or extremely anxious about their student’s safety when it comes to maintaining their cars and about three-fourths (73%) of parents have more anxiety about the car safety of their incoming college freshman than they did during the child’s senior year in high school.
Parents’ anxiety is warranted as more than half of college students admit to having ignored dashboard alerts and notifications, including “check engine” and “low battery warning,” according to the survey.
To help ease this anxiety, Advance and its team of friendly automotive experts are offering students and their parents free “off-to-campus” in-store services at Advance stores nationwide, including free battery testing and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light scanning.
In addition to awarding 10 four-year “Fuel Rides to College,” Advance will also award 20 additional winners a $100 Advance gift card to stock up on essentials to help keep their automobiles in reliable shape this school year. If interested in learning more, visit

Additional data from the Atomik surveys validate the value of a “Fuel Ride to College:”
One-third (33%) of students cite that a lack of gas money or the cost of gas has deterred them from going to class, the library or study groups, while 60% of incoming college students’ parents express this exact worry: that the cost of gas will deter their child from going to class or education-related activities. Many college students choose between fueling their body and their automobile: more than one-third (36%) say they have compromised or cut back on groceries to fit gas money into their budget. One-quarter (25%) of college students say they’ve had to cut back or compromise school supplies to fuel their automobiles. Advance has also partnered with auto racing driver and television personality Arie Luyendyk Jr. to encourage incoming freshmen to enter for a chance to win a “Fuel Ride to College” and spread the word about Advance’s commitment to providing parents peace of mind via complimentary in-store services.
