GRAFAL Piston Coating
Mahle pistons are treated with their own coating known as GRAFAL. GRAFAL skirt coating greatly reduces the skirt to wall surface friction and increases scuffing resistance. Another advantage of the GRAFAL coated pistons is they enable a closer fitting clearance that gives significantly lower engine noise in conjunction with complex piston forms.
