Do turbocharged cars need to warm up?

[Cruz]

Turbocharged cars do need to warm up. The method for warming up is: after starting the vehicle, let it run at idle speed for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the engine coolant to reach normal temperature, after which you can drive. Not warming up the car can cause damage to the vehicle: it leads to engine wear, as the engine oil settles at the bottom when the engine is cold, leaving the engine internals in a state of dry friction. The working principle of a turbocharger is: it uses the inertial force of the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller then compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder. Maintenance methods for turbochargers include: 1. Regularly changing the engine oil and oil filter; 2. Performing turbo cleaning; 3. Correctly selecting and using engine oil.
