Rumors about turbocharger maintenance：
Myth 1: The vehicle needs to idle for 1 to 2 minutes before turning off, otherwise it will damage the turbocharger. The truth is that this was the case only in the early days with regards to turbo technology, which needed to be dissipated by the engine cooling system, hence idling. Today's technology simply doesn't require this.
Myth 2: Turbochargers are very fragile and expensive to replace. The truth is that today's turbochargers have the same lifespan as the engine, require no special care, and are very durable.
Myth3: Turbocharged engines require high-grade gasoline, which is expensive. The truth is that the number of gasoline added to the vehicle has nothing to do with the turbocharger. The compression ratio of the vehicle engine is the determining factor.
Myth4: Turbochargers are expensive to maintain and require high oil. The truth is, turbochargers don't actually need special maintenance, just like any other vehicle.
Myth5: When the car is started, it is necessary to warm up the car and let the engine run for 2 to 3 minutes. The truth is that the early turbo technology was not mature enough to require a hot car, and now this problem has been solved, and there is no need to warm the car.
