Do Turbocharged Cars Burn Engine Oil?

[JamesonDella]

Turbocharged cars do burn engine oil. The following is an introduction to turbocharging in cars: Reasons for burning engine oil: Because the turbocharger is mainly composed of a pump wheel and a turbine, along with other control components. The pump wheel and turbine are connected by a rotor, which operates at speeds of up to several hundred thousand revolutions per minute. Such high speeds make conventional mechanical needle or ball bearings unable to function properly, so turbochargers generally use full-floating bearings, which are lubricated and cooled by engine oil. Introduction to engine oil for turbocharged engines: It is best to use fully synthetic engine oil for turbocharged engines. Fully synthetic oil is artificially manufactured. It involves chemically decomposing natural substances and then synthesizing them with various other substances to produce synthetic oil. Therefore, fully synthetic oil has more stable chemical properties and lower resistance, which can better protect the engine while reducing fuel consumption.
