Turbocharger Survival Guide: Key Steps to Prevent Failure

SHOUYUAN as one of the experienced turbocharger suppliers and specialize in aftermarket turbocharger, including turbo, compressor housing, turbine housing, cartridge, repair kit, etc. we have an in-depth understanding of how turbochargers work. In this case, we hope that the warm tips on turbo work can effectively reduce your troubles.

use high quality oil

Turbochargers rely on oil to lubricate and cool moving parts during operation. If low quality or dirty oil is used, it may cause the turbocharger to work inefficiently and in the long run will subject the turbocharger to excessive wear and eventually lead to premature failure. Make sure you are using a quality product that meets the manufacturer’s specifications and that regular inspection and replacement is necessary,

Warming up a cold car at startup

After the vehicle is started, let the diesel engine run at idle speed for a few minutes, the standby oil reaches a certain temperature and pressure, the flow performance improves, and the bearing housing of the turbo is fully lubricated before the speed can be increased, started driving or put into construction work. Especially important at low temperatures.

Cool down the engine

If a diesel engine running at high speed is turned off suddenly, the oil in the exhaust gas turbocharger will immediately stop circulating because the oil pump stops, and the rotor shaft of the turbocharger is still rotating at high speed under the action of inertia, which is easy to cause The oil is cut off and the bearing is burned to death. Therefore, before turning off the engine, it is necessary to gradually reduce the load of the diesel engine, and finally run at idle speed for an appropriate time, and then turn off the engine and stop the engine after the supercharger rotor shaft speed decreases and the oil temperature drops.

Regular vehicle maintenance

Regular maintenance does a lot for the inner workings of our cars. Regular inspections can detect problems before they occur and allow timely adjustments to vehicle problems. Not only that, but regular oil and oil filter changes every 5,000 miles, or 12 months, are a key way to ensure a healthy oil supply to your turbocharger.
