o | have a turbo charged engine in my car. Is there any special service

e required compared to a normal engine?

Turbo chargers are essentially super high speed fans that force air into
i

@ the engine io increase power. Un

ke an electric fan, turbo chargers are
powered by the engine exhaust. Modern turbos are very finely bal-
anced and spin a! speeds of over 70,000 rpm. They are a

so subjected

to intense heat because they are attached to the exhaust manifold &

driven by the hot exhaust gas.

While there is generally no specific maintenance required for the turbo charger

itself, there are a few differences in how you should operate and maintain your

engine.

Firstly, you should always warm up your engine before driving, especially in colder weather. This is

to ensure the engine oil has warmed up enough to provide proper

ubrication. Secondly, you

should always let your engine idle for a minute or so before turning it off. If your. engine has been

run hard prior to stopping, you should let it
idle longer. This is to allow the turbo to stop
spinning. If you turn your engine off irmedi-
ately oer stopping, the turbo can spin for a
minute or more with little or no lubrication.
Idling the engine also gives the oil a chance to
dissipate the heat that builds up in the turbo.

Finally, it is recommended you change your oil
twice as often as you would in a non-turbo
engine. This is for wo reasons: first, the ail’
works a lot harder in a turbo engine and sec-
ond, good oil is critical for proper turbo
charger lubrication. ‘

If you follow inese simple guidelines, you
should have years of trouble free driving.
