What kind of engine oil should be used for turbocharged engines?
1 Answers
Turbocharged engines should use fully synthetic engine oil. There are three types of engine oil for vehicles: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. The service intervals and performance of these three types of engine oil are also different. The service interval for mineral oil is 5,000 kilometers, for semi-synthetic oil it is 6,500 kilometers, and for fully synthetic oil it is 10,000 kilometers. A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller then pressurizes the air delivered through the air filter pipe, forcing it into the cylinder under increased pressure.
