How to maintain turbocharged models

turbocharging

In today's era, there are many turbocharged models in the continuous flow of cars, and when everyone shouts "Turbo", many people ignore some key points of the turbine model, some small details that make it work normally and maintain the normal service cycle. Let's get down to those little details.

Warm up engine

After the cold start of the vehicle, the original heat car, let the water temperature reach the normal value, let the engine oil reach the best working temperature, because the turbocharger is a high-speed operating part, so the need for oil protection, otherwise the oil will be very viscous, poor lubrication effect, shorten the life of the turbine.

blanking

Because the vehicle is driving for a long time or at a high speed, the temperature of the turbocharger is too high. After stopping, the turbine will continue to run due to inertia. If the engine is turned off immediately after stopping, the cooling system and the supply of lubricating oil will also stop immediately, damaging the bearing.

Engine oil

Because the turbocharger is indeed more "delicate", so the oil requirements are also high, the turbine uses floating bearings, completely lubricated by oil, the viscosity of inferior oil is higher, poor fluidity, it is recommended to replace the vehicle full synthetic oil, its oxidation resistance, anti-wear, high temperature resistance, lubrication and heat dissipation is better.

Inspect

Regularly check the sealing ring of the turbocharger, if loose, the exhaust gas will enter the engine lubrication system through the sealing ring to make the oil dirty, resulting in excessive oil consumption, in addition, when disassembling the turbocharger, it is necessary to block the inlet, exhaust port and oil inlet to prevent the entry of dirt or foreign matter, do not fall, hit, grasp the deforming parts, the owner should not disassemble the parts by himself. Otherwise it's penny wise and pound foolish.

Summary: Under normal circumstances, the life of turbochargers can be as high as 20 years or more, so for turbocharged models, the car has more patience and better habits.
