- In this episode of Redline Revs we explain HOW and WHY you should ALWAYS WARM UP & COOL DOWN your Turbo charged engine. Follow these steps to extend the life and performance of your turbocharger.
Change gear, for the love of god, change gear.
andrew wright I've only got 2 hands
andrew wright italian tune up haha
Lol screamer. That thing is asking for another gear.
It's automatic transmission
@@LuciferMorningstar-ix3lb wow...4 years later ...it's not an auto.
Oil takes a lot longer to warm than the coolant especially since it has to warm all of the oil in the pan. My coolant (as with most people) will show as warm enough easily 5-10 minutes before the oil is at a proper temperature.
This
In my previous car where I could easly peek at oil temps it took anywhere between 5 to 25 minutes more to heat up oil (depending on usage, light / city traffic it could really get to 25 min) whereas water usually would be in nominal value in ca 3 minutes
My neighbour across the road must have watched this. Cooling his car every morning at 7am in front of my windows. Lovely
Clarification works a night shift and gets home 7AM
Agreed mine's approaching 400.000 km and i have always done this. The Turbo and engine is all still original with no problems at all
Grim wriggler thanks for taking the time to comment. I know this sounds like basic advice but still too few drivers are properly cooling down the turbo after driving.
Another bit of advice is to change the oil more frequently than the recommended schedule, i do mine every 8/10k using fully synthetic unlike the 20 or 30k recommended by seat!
Thanks for that contribution, Grim. Couldn't agree more. I find it shocking that manufacturers even advise 10k miles for an oil change. Personally I always change at the 5k miles mark.
Grim wriggler no oil dilution with idling?
@@Grimwriggler go for semi synthetic it's also same as fully synthetic
You don’t want to use the engine coolant gauge. It takes longer for the oil to warm up. You want the oriole to be at proper temperature before hard acceleration
Back in the 80's and 90's it was no boost 3 mins after start up and before shut down. I've been told by a co-worker who was a car mechanic, a bearing change has eliminated that, I am still trying to confirm what I was told.
That’s typically what I do with my Nissan Cedric, I watch the coolant temp go up (usually after 3-8 minutes) and then I drive below 3k rpm for about 10 minutes before I decide I can run boost for fun lol
Your engine oil should lubricate ALL of your engine parts well within a minute, unless your outside temperature is extremely low. So waiting for your turbo engine to warm up is not very useful because the oil reaches all those parts within few seconds after cold start. Of course, a little more can only help rule is fine, you are just wasting your time and fuel. I am fine with that, no damage to the engine. The more damage has happened to the turbo charged engine is it shutting it down. If you are the type.. revving the engine and quick shut down can cause turbo compressor oil starvation since, once the engine is shut, no more engine oil is supplied. And the turbo is keeps spinning for a time after engine is shut down without oil supply can (depending of the engine speed at the time) cause turbo bearing oil starvation.
Who's with me idling in the driveway after hooning? 😆
I’m literally sitting in my car letting her cool off before I go to bed lmao
You don't need to idle for 5 minutes to cool the turbo lol! It only takes a minute or 2. If you have a water cooled turbo you don't even need to do this.
Actually it depends how long and how aggressive you drove it prior to shutting the car down
If you come down from the highway to refuel, you definitely have to cool down the turbo
for someone who is considering buying a car with a turbo, thanks man!
Even you are probably not idiling a car for 5min before shut down,........ I am for 30 seconds for my last 6 years and it’s been doing alright. Audi A4 1.9 tdi AWX
i always let my turbo cool off never had issues yet, hows ur turbo doing after 4 years now? genuine question not tryna be rude
@@istoneyy4204 still going strong after 10 years ~150 000km of me owning the car! :)
It’s Garrett if I remember correctly
Engine is not completely on temperature when it reaches 90c. It's 90c +5 minutes of normal drive and in winter +10 minutes.
Im still training my brain to do this after driving n/a for so long.
You are right on resting in park mode and it cools down... but my check engine is on now and i dont know what to do. 😏😏
Lexus IS 200T with 2.0 turbo, how long do I have to let the engine cool down before I can shut the engine off?
It really only takes 1-2 minutes. If you turbos are water cooled then you don't need to do this on a street driven vehicle.
Your oil doesn’t even get warm then, once your coolant is up to temperature it opens your thermostat and only then start warming your oil. You need a oil temp gage and when that is warm then you can go on boost.
can you demo straight video showing how cool turbo before shut off the car.
Even if it is. A regular factory turboed car? And if you have only driven normally like 2000 rpm.
How about normal driving no fast acceleration and harsh but not to over harsh on driving do i still do that after driving a turbo?
Taking advice from someone who is unable to change gears?
Well the advice in the video is reasonably accurate
@@midcenturymodern9330 i’m specifically referring to the information he said in the video, not what is depicted in the video. If you look closely, i said “the advice in the video” not “how this guy chooses to drive his car”
So, if I want to keep my revs lower I should keep it in lower gear? Is this how it works?
It's the opposite..
2 to 5 mins cooling down... No mate.... Gentle driving 5 10 mins be4 coming to halt.. Then let it tick over for 30 seconds to a minute
Can this dude please upshift? Like fr
I stayed bc of the way he says turbo
Your oil temperature takes a lot longer to warm up then coolant
You need a gauge for oil temp. This is not correct looking at the coolant. All engines warm up oil at different rate due to how much oil.
Mine doesn't go to the middle on the temperature gauge when it's warmed up its different for every model
Check in summer, varies with outside temp.
Should we shut the turbo engine off at red lights or keep it idling?
keep idling
Most new cars don't need this, otherwise start/stop would be very bad. Now start/stop only is bad for starter
@@physio_bodybuilding i do agree on the warming up, never ever go WOT when oil is not warm.
But if i look at cars like for driving lessons they always use start/stop and never have issues with the turbo even if they have 200000 kilometers on it
@@physio_bodybuilding true,
I'd rather have a engine from a taxi with like 800k KM on it than a city car that has not seen warm oil in it's live with 50k KM
Change the fucking gear bro
Hi Sir this is what I have been saying to my son Regan as he used to own this 2017 Ford Transit Van but had sold to the company he works for & Regan still drives it for the company he works for & it is a Turbo Charged Diesel engine & the Turbo Charger has not long been replaced & the Vehicle has only done 120,000 Ks the owner of the company had to pay $5000.00 to have the Turbo Charger replaced & that was way to expensive & I could have replaced that turbo charger myself & I could have got a turbo charger for around $1,100 1,200 new & so the guy of the company that now owns the 2017 Ford Transit van Turbo Charged Diesel engine knows a guy & happens to a mate of his Charged him NZ $5000.00 to replace the turbo charger & has really has ripped him off big time & looking at where the turbo charger is on the Ford Transit van I recon I could have it off in 1/2 an hour to 3/4s of an hour & fit the new turbo charger in about the same time charged about $200,00 to $500 to replace the Turbo Charger & that guy reallly ripped off my sons Boss off big time & NZ $5000.00 that is beyond the joke & that is a lot of money to replace a turbo charger & I have always said to my son Regan to warm the engine up first before going to work in mornings but no & even when he gets home from he switches the engine off straight away & I can tell him & he is going to destroy the brand new Turbo Charger & it comes about any Turbo Charged engine or Supercharged engine & any other engine on any vehicle must be warmed up & you can't tell these People & they just go ahead & drive them & when I owned a Toyota Carina Twin Cam 8 plug Yamaha Head water Cooled Turbo Charged 1800 4 cylinder engine I always warmed that engine up before I go driving & the same thing when ever I go places I always let the engine idle for about 3 minutes to 4 minutes or sometimes longer before switching off the engine & dosen't hurt the turbo charger as all & I didn't have a timer on this Toyota Carina twin cam turbo 8 plug Yamaha head Water Cooled Turbo Charged engine & warm the engine up in the mornings & cooled the Turbo down before switching off the engine & I would do regular oil & filter changers with Hi grade engine turbo charged engine oil & it was worth putting good grade oil in these engines & same goes for Supercharged engines & if have a hi performance Supercharged with forged pistons Please give extra time to warm these Hi Performance Supercharged up properly before driving them other wise later down the track you are going to destroy these Hi performance supercharged engines you must allow the time for these forged pistons to expand by warming these Supercharged engines up properly & I'm wondering how many guy's out there that have spent so much money on these Supercharged engines with forged pistons haven't warmed their engines properly & go booting the engines & blowing their engines up & could also destroy the Superchargers not good PLEASE WARM UP THESE HI PERFORMANCE SUPERCHARGED ENGINES WITH FORGED PISTONS TO ALLOW THE PISTONS TO EXPAND TO THERE RIGHT TOLERANCE & SAME GOES FOR HI PERFORMANCE TURBO CHARGED ENGINES WITH FORGED PISTONS YOU HAVE GOT TO WARM THESE ENGINES UP PROPERLY & SAME GOES FOR DRAG RACING WARM THESE ENGINES UP PROPERLY FIRST BEFORE PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR IS A MUST Kind Regards Peter & Have A Lovely Nice Day Sir & I'm sure that you would agree with me Sir
And neither a fuck nor a punctuation mark was given that day...
wait so just give the turbo a few minutes to cool....duramax 2024

Turbos are a waste of money if you are not on track . If you are in the US , because the labor is so dam high .
Ja Ja wth u on abt lmfao
Orrrrr u learn how to do it yourself like me lol...
Lol turbos are a waste of money?
