What are the driving tips for turbocharged cars?
1 Answers
There are three main driving tips for turbocharged cars: 1. When a turbocharged car is just started, the engine oil temperature is low, and the turbocharger cannot be fully lubricated. At this time, do not press the accelerator pedal sharply. Let the engine idle for about three minutes first, which can quickly increase the oil temperature and improve its fluidity, thereby ensuring full lubrication of the turbocharger. Only then can the engine speed be increased to start driving. 2. Before turning off the car, let the engine idle for about three minutes (idle for about three minutes), mainly to allow the turbo to cool down. When the engine is running, part of the engine oil is used to lubricate and cool the turbocharger rotor bearings. If the running engine is suddenly shut down, the oil pressure will quickly drop to zero, interrupting oil lubrication. The heat inside the turbocharger cannot be carried away by the oil, and the high temperature of the turbo part will transfer to the center. The heat in the bearing support housing cannot be quickly dissipated, while the turbocharger rotor is still rotating at high speed due to inertia. This can cause the turbocharger shaft and bushing to "seize" and damage the bearings and shaft. 3. For daily oil use, strictly follow the model specified in the user manual. It is recommended that car owners invest more in this aspect and switch to fully synthetic oil for their vehicles. This type of oil has excellent oxidation resistance, wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, and provides better lubrication and heat dissipation.
