WILL LAQUER THINNER, ( WHICH MANY PEOPLE ARE USING IN GAS TANK ), HARM A TURBO ???

[@txmoney]

When Honda debuted their 10th gen Civic back in 2016, it included a turbo for the first time on their production line vehicles. People warned me that I would never get more than 60k miles out of that small turbo. My 2018 Civic EXT, with the tiny 1.5 liter, GDI, turbo currently has 138,300 trouble-free miles averaging 35.4 mpg. I rarely take short trips. I drive about 60% highway. I have never redlined. In fact, I rarely exceed 4K rpm. I always change the oil/filter early...between 4,000-4,800 mile intervals using full synthetic 0W-20. That’s roughly with 40% oil life left.

[@ithinkihaveebola5238]

I have a Cadillac with a turbo and just change the oil when needed. I now have about 120,000 miles on it and the turbo is still smooth

[@LA_Commander]

That's exactly what you should be doing. Good job on those oil changes! Turbo motors are dirty and need those frequent oil changes.

Good advice here,the car I drive has had 19 services ,every 10000 miles,original turbo

[@francoisroberge5882]

Idling up to 5 minutes after highway driving is excessive. One minute will do the job. Change your oil more often (not faster). You can drive in the cold ..... simply drive slower for a while to be sure your engine is up to operational temperature. That's the beauty of synthetic oil. Use the oil recommended by the manufacturer. Not what some KZbin guy tells you to use.

[@trinimale5]

There are a lot of myths and misinformation about this. The cars that have these systems cater for the start/stop with more robust design or a spare starter. The engine is never cold and oil never drains back. The feature is disabled if the battery is losing charge etc. so as not to wear out your battery life as well. This isn't a plug for start stop feature but it would be foolish to think that they would have this in a vehicle without catering for it in some way.

My 2017 Mazda CX-9 2.5 L turbo is run on a 10k mile oil change with changing filter every 5k , using Mobil 1 5 W 30 high mileage guarantee to 10 k and used 20k , I had oil tested at a oil analysis laboratory and report stated i could go safely another couple thousand miles, my wife dont listen to any warm-up or shut-off recommendations and car has a 123 k on it and runs perfectly so far.

For those living in cold parts. Install yourselves a block heater. This way the oil and fluids will be warmer on those cold morning starts

[@ivancliff2514]

Oil pan heaters are even better! Circulating warm oil is better than cold oil with a warm spot on the block. That being said a block heater is definitely better than nothing.

[@omakis965]

@@ivancliff2514 yo. But doesn’t the block heater also heat the oil as well?

[@ivancliff2514]

@@omakis965 In a round about way the block heater does heat the oil as it’s flowing through the motor, yes. However If we heat the oil directly we are gaining the addition of the oil already flowing better as the viscosity is lower. This will help keep the “cold start” wear lower and as we are circulating warm oil through the entire engine the lubricating properties are more effective overall. Block heaters are definitely a good alternative though. If you have a choice get an oil heater but if your vehicle came equipped with a block heater that is absolutely better than nothing. The difference from the block heater to the oil heater aren’t that dramatic overall but think about what oil is meant to do and how it’s made. It wants to be warm and flowing well so the quicker that can happen the happier the engine will be! Happy motoring my friend!

Thanks for the valuable tips. Especially in Winter, when using the car, I use to make various errands at once, so that I don’t need to heat up the engine for each and every little trip. Just the warm up of an engine at freezing temperatures (lower than 5C) has its toll not only on wear and tear but also on fuel consumption and environment.

[@davidwhitworth6030]

[@arthursmith643]

True that. Excellent information for turbo owners. Very good video nice touch showing and pointing to the turbo parts good clear voice and no crappy music in the background. Excellent. People read your manual that came with the vehicle. The engineers built the vehicle and that is its bible. It will say on your oil filler cap which weight oil to use.

[@mysticjedi6730]

0w over 5w only has better flow below -35 C. You are better off with thicker for protection. I would even go with 5w30 over 5w20 or 0w20.

[@richardh418]

I disagree with using lighter oil here in Florida. My custom turbo kit creates excessive heat. Thinner oil breaks down quicker and does nothing. If your oil looks black when you check it then it's time to change it. Some oils may say 5000 miles or 10000 miles and this will not hold up. My 500 horsepower Turbonetics turbo has lasted 10 years and I'm upgrading to a new complete kit by Precision Turbo. For me I went with a thicker heavier oil and oil cooler. After a thousand miles even with the best oil I use which is royal purple I could tell it was already breaking down and I don't drive hard. A lot of cars that come with turbos are very small turbos that don't produce a lot of power and the car companies only give you what the car needs. I'm sticking with what works for me and I have 220,000 miles on my car with 100,000 miles on my old turbo.

[@Kokomo365]

Proper warm up and cool down is the most important along with regular oil changes. Don't over rev them and inspect for oil leaks. Service immediately if you hear abnormal noises. Bearing and seal failure are not uncommon with them. Broken impellers are rare, but pieces will damage your engine, intercooler and catalytic converter.

[@51madmitch]

Think about it, most cars doing 70mph of 120 KMPH on M way are only using between 1600 and 3000 rpm , so when you pull onto slip road going much slower drive in car park look for space, you done a couple of minutes, diesel engines run much cooler than petrol, but another 30 seconds after that is fine, many cars now have electric water pumps and water cooled turbos, so they still get cooling after you switch off, in EU countries.

[@richardsimms251]

Top quality advice.

[@bonedatt]

2:15 what about water cooled turbos like the ones paired with Ford's EcoBoost engine? Ford says they don't need to idle before shutting down.

[@LA_Commander]

He is talking about normal turbos which use oil to cool only. But even with the Ecoboost motor it's a good idea to allow an idle time for a minute before shutoff if you have been hard on the motor.

[@jayphilbert5845]

Eco boost has a electrical pump that operates even when the vehicle is off

[@LA_Commander]

@jayphilbert5845 it does. But still a good idea to idle for an additional 30 seconds to allow oil flow as well.

[@lewlewis6511]

I hear things like this about large trucks too, no need to let it run to cool things down any more, then i always ask myself how long the manufacturer warranty lasts. So far i've covered nearly 4 million miles, mainly in turbocharged trucks but also my own petrol and Diesel turbocharged cars/4x4s, have always allowed the engines a warm up and cool down period and in my own vehicles frequent servicing, result not 1 turbocharger failure over those many years and miles.

[@ivanhamlyn]

What about new toyota tundra v6 turbo

[@CaptainCreampie69]

With most modern cars being made with a turbo not driving when it’s cold is unrealistic. Just warm up the oil by sitting idle for a couple of minutes at your point of departure while it warms up and pumps the oil.

[@mj8495]

Or...drive it and just don't engage the turbo until it warms up 😊

@@mj8495 A turbo spins no matter what when the engine is on. Exhaust is flowing and thus imparting force onto the impeller and turning the compressor shaft. So the bearings are spinning even at idle power.

[@jerryotero6175]

Great video and information. Thinner oil makes sense. I am wondering if something like Lucas Oil or a special oil additive woud add extra protection or if it might destroy the turbo.

[@I-didnt-ask-you]

Have to disagree with several points. If you use a lighter/thinner oil, especially with no oil cooler, you will have an increased risk of having the oil breakdown or lose its viscosity as it surpasses the operating temperature high enough. You risk things like spun bearings. A thinner oil with a low winter rating like a 0w or 5w is more important in the winter. Those winter ratings are fine for negative temperatures. The oil circulation in near immediately, not 10 to 30 seconds. The oil can bypass the filter too if need be so it's not an obstacle. A xW-30 hot rating should be the minimum in my opinion but definitely change the oil soon, no problem and I agree there however it should be every 5K kilometers at a minimum. I do mine every 3 months or 3K kilometers. Whichever comes first. Turbocharged 2013 86 for reference, with multiple drift/track days. A pure daily car can do 5K oil changes fine. Multiple short trips without getting to operating temperature is definitely bad.

[@joegixxer1k942]

I never go more than 3k before changing the oil and I use full synthetic

[@johnfranklin5277]

Yes, im doing 3000 mile changes on my GDI TURBO car. Even so, the oil is starting to get quite dark, and smells of gas, though there is no increase on the dipstick.

Modern turbo cars dont shut down the turbo when engine is turned off,the turbo will spin for a given amount of time in order to cool down!

The turbo only spins when the engine is running. It's the energy from the exhaust that causes this. If the engine is off, the turbo won't be spinning. Some cars do have systems that once you take the key out of the ignition the engine will continue to run for a given amount of time to give the turbo plenty of time to cool.

[@andrewmcintosh9832]

If you're referring to warming up the engine oil before you drive, you don't need to. You would just be wasting gas. Just keep the revs low and don't boost until your oil is up to operating temperature. Don't forget that oil takes longer to get up to operating temp than coolant. So if you don't have an oil temp gauge, wait at least 10 minutes after the coolant is up to temp before driving hard.

6-7K MILE OIL CHANGES ON A TURBO CHARGED?? Are you crazy!??? ANY modern day GDI engine WITHOUT a turbo even that’s pushing it (unless majority highway driving) for long term healthy life 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Use Ravenol VST or VMP, it protects my N20 and S68 with quiet operations and my temp never goes 1/4 in city driving as well as never goes to 1/2 if the temp gauge on highway driving.
