Lubrication Of Turbo

Since the turbo is subjected to high operating temperatures, the lubrication of moving parts (brackets and shaft) is widely compromised, by being subjected to high temperatures and dynamic imbalances there is a risk of a bad choice or late changes cause the oil emergence of film and remains of coal in the vane shaft joint, which can cause vibrations at distinct frequencies to resonate can damage the turbo. In addition to the spindle is subject at all times to large temperature changes in the heat of the hot zone of the turbo is transmitted to the coldest zone, which accentuate the lubricant requirements, one must therefore use oil approved and take into account the country where you live.
We recommend that after use the engine over long distances and high speeds, do not immediately stop the engine, let it idle for at least 30 sec. to ensure adequate lubrication and cooling. The explanation is simple and pure physics, the side most exposed to heat (turbine) can overheat too if they shut down the engine immediately after intensive use of the engine, taking into account that oil burns to 221 º C may cause charring the turbo.

The lubrication of the turbocharger variable geometry is even more demanding than the normal traditional moving parts of the turbo, you have to lubricate the entire set of levers and rods that are moved by the actuator, to catch dirt (dirt poor quality oil) the guides and gates hold turbo and stops working properly causing the engine power loss.
