Precautions for Turbocharger
The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrication and cooling of its rotating components. The turbocharger turbine turns at a speed in excess of 100,000 rpm at full throttle and its temperature can reach 870°C (1,600°F). It is essential to maintain a clean supply of oil flowing through the turbocharger system. Therefore, a sudden interruption of oil supply may cause a malfunction in the turbocharger.
For proper operation of the system, follow the procedure below:
Turbocharger Precautions
- 1Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.
- 2Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after starting.
- 3If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting it off.
