Is Turbocharged Engine Prone to Burning Oil?

[LeMaximus]

Turbocharged engines are prone to burning oil. To minimize oil consumption in turbocharged engines, here are some key precautions: 1. Maintain cleanliness: Ensure the engine oil filter is clean to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the high-speed rotating turbocharger impeller. Dust particles can damage the turbocharger blades, leading to unstable rotation speeds and increased wear on bushings and seals. 2. Use high-quality full synthetic or semi-synthetic oil: High-quality oil provides better lubrication, as well as cleaning and protective functions. 3. Avoid high engine RPM immediately after starting the vehicle: Both the engine and turbocharger require oil for protection. Oil lubrication is poor when the engine is cold, and running the engine and turbocharger at high speeds can cause significant wear.
