Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device designed to obtain greater horsepower
by delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven
by the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
•
When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid hard or sudden
acceleration.
•
Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the
Maintenance Minder
TM
.
The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its temperature
reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal noise of the
turbine bearing.

minute.
