Do All Turbocharged Engines Have Oil Burning Issues?
1 Answers
Models equipped with turbochargers generally do not experience oil burning issues. When oil burning occurs, it is usually due to improper maintenance of the turbocharger. Therefore, for turbocharged models, the following usage recommendations should be noted: 1. Use synthetic lubricating oil and regularly replace and clean the air filter. 2. After high-speed operation, do not immediately turn off the engine. Sudden shutdown interrupts oil lubrication, and the heat inside the turbocharger cannot be dissipated by the oil, which can easily cause the turbocharger's rotating shaft and bushing to "seize." 3. After the engine is suddenly turned off, the flow of oil to the turbocharger stops. If the exhaust pipe temperature is still high at this time, the heat will be absorbed by the turbocharger housing, causing the remaining oil inside the turbocharger to carbonize and form deposits. 4. As deposits accumulate, they can block the oil inlet, leading to insufficient lubrication of the bushing. This accelerates wear between the turbo shaft and bushing, and in severe cases, may even cause "seizure."
