Turbocharger: Specifications

Proper lubrication is essential for proper turbocharger operation. Since it is lubricated by engine oil pressure, three important practices should be observed:
1. Do not race engine immediately after starting. Let engine idle to provide initial lubrication.
2. Do not switch engine off while running at high RPM as turbocharger will continue to spin at high RPM without oil pressure. Letting engine idle before shut down will also lower turbine temperatures.
