Be careful not to enter the following misunderstandings when maintaining the turbocharger
A turbocharger is a motor-driven air pump or compressor that increases the manifold pressure to force the air-fuel mixture into the cylinder. The higher the pressure, the denser the air-fuel mixture, the more powerful the engine, so people know that maintenance is required. However, there are often some mistakes.
Turbocharger maintenance mistakes:
Misunderstanding 1:
Change the oil at will
In terms of "drinking" oil, this turbocharger is indeed more "squeamish". In addition to the larger volume than ordinary naturally aspirated engines, the requirements for oil products are also higher. Because the design of the turbocharger is different from that of a naturally aspirated engine, the turbine body and the main shaft are filled with oil, and the entire main shaft relies on lubricating oil to dissipate heat and lubricate, while inferior oil has high viscosity and poor fluidity. cannot function well. It is recommended that car owners increase some investment in this area and replace the fully synthetic oil for the vehicle.
Turbocharger maintenance misunderstanding 2:
Turn off the engine immediately at the destination
After the engine has been running at high load for a long time, the owner must idle for a few minutes before turning off the engine, so that the parts can be effectively cooled and lubricated. Turn off the car immediately，In order to keep the vehicle in a high-speed idling state, the problem is the same as sudden acceleration, which will damage the vehicle's bearings.
Misunderstanding 3:
Boom the accelerator as soon as you start
Being able to increase speed in a short period of time is a major feature of turbochargers, but this does not mean that car owners can treat their car rudely. The number of revolutions is very high. After starting the vehicle, do not step on the accelerator pedal abruptly. It should run at idle speed for 3-5 minutes first, so that the oil pump has sufficient time to deliver the oil to all parts of the turbocharger.
