subject: Advisable Tips For Maintaining Vehicles Of Turbocharger Engine [print this page] Compared with naturally aspirated engine, engine turbocharger excels in power and the advanced technology of turbocharger will make full use of gasoline by improving the air quality in combustion chamber. However, the pressure and average temperature will increase significantly when the high output is brought by turbocharger engine. Therefore, the maintenance of turbocharger engine requires much care.
1. Application of High-graded Synthetic Motor Oil
The common problem detected in most diesel turbocharger engines is the deficiency in oil seal between turbocharger and inlet pipe and that will result in large-scaled oil burning. However, the main cause for the damage on oil seal lies in the fact that the inferior engine oil used in turbocharger engine will cause some problems such as the shortage of lubrication and that of cooling in the main axis of rotation of turbine. The higher engine speed needed to start the turbocharger will require better anti-shear ability of engine oil. In conclusion, choosing the high-graded synthetic motor oil rather than ordinary mineral oil will is highly recommended.
2. Regular Cleaning of Turbocharger Engine
High power as one of the most salient characteristics for turbocharger engine originates from the precise designing and manufacturing process and at the same time requires strict working environment. All these explain the high requirements such as the cleaning and protection of lubrication oil from turbocharger engine, which is easily damaged by any friction of impurities. It is necessary for you to regularly clean the turbocharger. You may have to keep the engine oil and oil filter clean since that the lubrication is of primary concern. In addition, changing or cleaning the air filter will help keep impurities out of supercharger impeller that is in high-speed status. If the cleanliness of air in surroundings is undesirable and the amount of dust is above normal standard, you should avoid using turbocharger for a long period.
3. Be Patient and Don't Rush to Step on Accelerator Pedal
The vehicles of turbocharger engine are easily to accelerate within a short time period. So you should not take this for granted and ruthlessly step on the accelerator pedal for acceleration. What you have to do is being patient with the whole process and following the next tips. You should primarily make it run in idle speed for about three to five minutes, helping oil pumps bring oil to every part of turbocharger and improving the oil temperature to make it more fluent. Only in this way can you fully lubricate the turbocharger and have a smooth acceleration.
