Sir Noah, I know out of topic itong tanong ko, pero dapat ba na naka idle muna ang montero natin bago patayin ang makina pag walang Turbo Timer? Saka gaano ka importante ang Turbo Timer sa VGT Turbos ng 2014 Montero?

[@NoahsGarage]

Mahalaga un kasi me oil pa sa turbo. Kaya idle mo muna at least 30sec to 2 minutes bago mo ioff. Otherwise ma bake ang oil sa turbo

[@NoahsGarage]

Yes sir kasi ang kotse ay designed to be driven. Paandarin niyo po para mag circulate and mga fluids at gumana ang electrical systems. If you can drive it for about 30 mins much better. Depende ang time ng idling. Once ma reach na ng engine ang operating temp, pwede mo na patayin.

Alternator sir nagsusupply sa electrical Kaya once na naka on engine, alternator nagsusupply. Kasi nga passive yang alternator sa engine once na naka on engine,umiikot din alternator. Alternator nagsusupply sa lahat ng electrical kaya walang kinalaman yung gas dun Hindi porket nka on infotainment/accessories eh lalakas ka sa gas✌️. Pansinin mo kahit isagad mo blower ng Aircon mo Ganon pa rin gas consumption mo Kasi nga alternator ang nagttrabaho for electrical support. At kahit di mo paganahin mga car accessories mo gumagana pa rin alternator once na nkastart engine Kasi nga passive yang alternator✌️
