Why Are Maintenance Costs Higher for Turbocharged Models?
1 Answers
Turbocharged engines are more expensive to maintain primarily because they require higher-quality full synthetic oil, as turbocharged engines have stringent requirements for engine oil. Turbocharging technology was originally developed for aircraft, where engineers invented turbochargers to address the issue of insufficient air intake in aircraft engines at high altitudes. This technology was later gradually adopted in automotive engines. Additional information: Below are the advantages and disadvantages of turbocharging technology: 1. Advantages: The biggest advantage of turbocharging is that it can increase the engine's power and torque. 2. Disadvantages: Turbocharging technology suffers from response lag, resulting in a delay.
