What are the myths about turbocharged engines?
The word turbo is no stranger to us these days. With the country's emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction, the price of gasoline has been soaring. Turbocharging technology not only provides better performance protection for the engine, but also contributes significantly to energy saving and emission reduction. This article will take you to understand the turbocharged engine from the details and avoid some misunderstandings in car use.
Misunderstanding 1: Change the oil at will
Some car owners will have such an experience, and there is no problem with regular maintenance with full synthetic oil at regular maintenance points. Occasionally wanting to save money, I changed the mineral oil, thinking that as long as it is changed regularly. As a result, it will be found that the vehicle will shake slightly when it starts, and the engine will be particularly hot after running for a little longer.
Analysis: Turbocharging is indeed very demanding in terms of oil and oil. Because the design is different from the self-priming engine, the main shaft adopts a floating design, and the entire main shaft relies on lubricating oil to dissipate heat and lubricate, and the oil with poor oil has high viscosity and poor fluidity, and cannot fully form an oil film at all. . Therefore, for turbocharged car owners, it is still necessary to replace the fully synthetic oil with better oil.
Misunderstanding 2: Turn off the engine immediately when you arrive at the destination
There are some car owners who often run long distances or drive longer distances, and they should pay attention. If you can't get to your destination, you can turn off the car and get off immediately, without giving the vehicle time to breathe.
Analysis: After a turbocharged engine runs at high load for a long time, it must be run at idle speed for a few minutes, and then turned off. Allow the parts to cool down during which time they can also be lubricated. If the engine has been running at high speed and suddenly stalls, it will damage the bearings of the vehicle.
Misunderstanding 3: Boom the accelerator as soon as you start
Some car owners like to slam on the accelerator as soon as they start the vehicle, and within a few months, they will find that the bearing will be damaged during maintenance within a few months.
Analysis: Although turbocharging has the advantage of speeding up quickly in a short time, it does not mean that you can treat your car rudely. It is very easy to damage the oil seal of the supercharger if you press on the accelerator as soon as you start the engine. The turbocharging speed is very fast, then It also needs to run for 3-5 minutes to let the oil pump deliver the oil to various parts of the turbocharger. When the oil temperature rises and the oil film is fully established, the speed can be increased.
