Your microphone is so sophisticated it's making you sound like you're eating something with your mouth open other than that great video

You don't really need to let your car come up to temperature just let it idle for a couple of minutes to allow the oil to circulate around your engine this will also allow the bearings of your turbo to get the lubrication they need before you apply load to the turbo. The best way to get your car up to temperature is to drive it at a slow to moderate speed and don't accelerate hard straight away. He does have a point with letting your car idle before you turn it off. Another tip to make sure your engine and turbo last longer is keep your car maintained and serviced regularly. Change the oil and filter every 5 to 7 thousand kms and ypu won't have a problem.

I let the engine in my car heat up before driving and cool down a bit after driving even though it's naturally aspirated. I just want to have a slightly longer engine life that's all.

I just bought a turbo charged automatic car and while its so much fun to drive, i want to look after it so thanks for the video

[curlymyhero]

Boy what a great video! I bought a Mercedes twin turbo and the left side turbo was leaking oil BAD! Your video explained the faults of the prior owner to a T! We had to pull the engine to fix it...

[benjamingrimes]

Thank you for your easy to understand explanation of turbo lugging! I watched a couple vids of another YouTuber who's very well known on here and he didn't explain it as well as you.

I was watching this video while letting my GTI cool down haha

[aaronlecias]

Nice, simple yet very easy to understand explanation. Good job.

[honestreview]

Thank you for this and going straight to the point

What oil you should use varies. Check the owners manual for what your car wants. Mine for an example is a petrol 5cyl engine and wants 0w-30. Last owner ran 5w-40 cheap oil and the engine is now damaged because of it. Please check the owners manual and use what the manufacturer recommends for your car.

I always try not to lug the engine but i need helps! I have a Manuel audi.
Driving uphill for a length 30 minutes there may or may not be heavy traffic. At start im at 4000RPM to meet second gear @around 2200RPM to catch the gear with out making the car jerk. Any less and the turbo needs to kick in I repeat to 3rd but then at times, depending at what speed (60-70mph), im at 4th gear and 3500rpm to allow the engine and car to move upwareds without having to spool the turbo. If i were to switch to 5th gear, my turbo would kick in to accelerate, or if i let off the pedal to remove any boost, my car stays at the speed or begins to slow down. Is this okay?
Can i keep my car at about 3500 rpm to let the car move smoothly uphill for 20+min or should i be at a lower rpm and let the turbo spool? Am i then lugging the engine if i have to make the turbos boost to accelerate and actually harming the car more than just leaving it a a higher rpm?
Ive had seen other manuels and it seems like its efficent to at least go @2200RPM when switching gears. But by then the car is screaming to shift by 2200 when my car begins to do same till @5000rpm and includes a turbo..? Ahh! 😆

No such thing as lugging, turbo will kick in when it does, no matter the rpm. The oil weight is totally false too...its a matter of climate and Clearance.

[miltosfiesta]

Very informative nice and correct in what you say so I will follow them literally bravo.

[mikeydeshon]

The oil usage is wrong. I use 20/50 AMSoil. Reason is turbocharged engines are made with large oil clearances for the engine bearings.

[oops]

Helpful 👍 will same protocols be applied to BS6 turbo diesel engines.

Theres a german saying. Turbo läuft, Turbo säuft. Which roughly translates to if the Turbo is running the engine is just eating fuel. Just recently read a study on turbo chargers. Especially small 1 to 1.5 litre boosted engines consume significantly more fuel in longer high load scenarios like on the highway. To compensate so insufficient cooling these engines inject more fuel which they dont burn but use to cool the engine block and the hot side of the tubro charger. The fuel saving aspect only works in city traffic. Additionally since the turbo charged downsizing trend has started engine repairs as well as their costs have increased by quite some margin. One of the reasons why my new car is a Mazda which still uses a naturally aspirated 2 litre 4 cylinder. As it should be for everyday cars I might add.
