What Type of Engine Oil Should a Turbocharged Engine Use?

[Evelyn]

Turbocharged engines should use fully synthetic engine oil. The working principle of a turbocharger is as follows: it utilizes the exhaust gases emitted from the engine's exhaust outlet as power to drive the turbine wheel in the turbocharger housing. The turbine wheel is directly connected to the compressor wheel in the compressor housing. One side of the compressor housing is connected to the air filter, while the other side compresses the air drawn in from the air filter into the engine's cylinders, thereby increasing the amount of air in the engine. The engine's function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. The functions of engine oil include lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption, and wear resistance.
