Winter inspection

If Its cold outside and youre on your way to work in the morning, start your car and let it run for a few minutes to reach the working temperature. Its not a bad idea to let your car sit idle for a few minutes. Heating it under the hood will heat up your Turbocharger.

After just starting the car must not slam the accelerator to prevent damage to the supercharger oil seal. After the engine starts, especially in the winter, should let its idle speed operation for a period of time, in order to turbocharger rotor high-speed operation before full lubrication bearings.
