I own a 2020 F-150 with the 2.7 ecoboost, on startup I wait until the idle settles down to normal before driving. In the winter it does take longer, but no more than a minute. As for shutting down, once I stop, I give the time it takes to turn everything off then I will shut it down
I own a turbo engine car and this was really informative. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have 17 yo Subaru with a turbo and it is fine, just dont thrash the guts out of your car, any car. Happy motoring.
Facts
Old School air cooled Turbo Porsche guys know all this well. Full synthetic every 5k, warm up and cool down. Install a larger oil cooler.
Warm the engine up for 5-10 minutes? Seriously?
If you're going to run it really hard
But you can "warm" it up by driving at low speeds before you rly kick it. Same with cold. Drive slower when you're close to home
What is the average life expectancy for a turbo charger?
If you don't drive like a man and change your oil enough plus do let your car cool down before you turn the engine off turbos can last the life of the car engine and It depends on the manufacturer as well
@@paulgilraine3127 lol you dont have to let your car cool down. Thats a joke. You think manufacturers would build cars that require that nonsense?
@@executiveinvestments welll you can do what ever you think is right for your cars turbo but it's not just me that believes it's good practice to give a turbo time to cool down after a spirited drive where your turbo has had plenty of work , so does Volvo and Toyota and plenty of good mechanics. The reason why is the turbo it's self gets super hot , far hotter than the cam shaft or any other moving parts out side the combustion chamber so when a car or any engine that runs a turbo at high load suddenly stops so does the circulation of oil that cools and lubricates the turbo and all its moving part , this can oil fry on the bearings of a red hot turbo, so if your oil isn't super clean the contamination that is in oil bakes in to the bearings , thet it's self won't stop a turbo from spinning but in time it will make it harder to spin until ultimately it fails so it's good practice to give your turbo time to cool down either by driving in a way that doesn't cause you turbo to activate for a shot while before stopping the engine or give the car a minute or so to cool down before you stop the engine and oil getting pumped around the turbo so its definitely good practice to keep your oil clean by changing it often and not only changing oil filters but air filters with quality filters as well because dust that gets by a bad quality air filter can also spoil a turbo or shorten the life of it but that's another story .if you car doesn't have a trubo stop it when ever you want because it won't make the slightest bit of different but it can do with a turbo aspirated engine , maybe some super car manufacturers have trubo cooling systems in place I don't really know but if you can afford a super car unlike me a humble builder with children that's worked on my own cars and bikes for over 30 years, you probably don't need to worry about the life span of a turbo or replacing one .
@@paulgilraine3127 well I own(ed) a few turbo engines, one with 260,000 miles and guess what never let it cool down but still going strong. Just traded in one with 98,000 miles and never let that cool down. I guess my engines didn't get the memo?
Life of the engine
warm up 5-10 minutes before driving? that was in 1970s!
just bought a 2022 Audi with 2.0L turbo and when I let it warm up (cool morning so want heat to heat interior) I get a message on my dashboard telling me to not let engine sit warming up? What does Audi know that everyone here doesn't?
Well in certain areas of the world its illegal to let your car idle for more than a few minutes(I think it's canada) Also I think modern cars warm up and cool down time is much shorter. "Warm up" is essentially just listening for the turbo whistling to kind of stop and rpm to return to 1k or your cars average.
Cool down I just sing the abc's to myself and check my phone before I turn it off.
@@msk3905 Long warm ups used to be needed for carburated engines. In modern cars you're just idling with cold/lower pressure oil which causes more wear than the minutes of light driving it would take to warm up.
You lost me at turbochargers work by drawing air in and cooling it down. The air gets heated as the turbo compresses it. Maybe you meant the intercooler? Regardless, I reject your advice as you clearly don't know anything about the topic.
