The daily maintenance methods for turbochargers mainly include the following points:
Regularly changing the engine oil filter: The consumption and lubrication of engine oil are the key points of turbocharging technology. Choosing factory recommended engine oil can reduce the lack of lubrication and heat dissipation in the floating turbine main shaft.
Frequent turbine cleaning: If the lubricating ability of the engine oil decreases, it can cause premature scrapping of the turbocharger. Clean or replace the air filter on time to prevent impurities such as dust from entering the high-speed rotating turbocharger impeller.
Do not immediately shut down: When a running engine suddenly stops, the oil pressure reaches zero, and the high temperature in the turbocharger turbine section is transmitted to the middle, preventing the heat from quickly being carried away. If the temperature of the exhaust manifold is high at this time, its heat will be absorbed into the turbocharger housing, boiling the oil remaining inside the turbocharger into carbon deposits.
Correct selection and reasonable use of engine oil: Generally, turbocharged engines require the use of fully synthetic engine oil, and the oil change cycle should be determined reasonably based on the usage conditions. It is necessary to avoid using fake engine oil and non compliant engine oil, otherwise it may cause abnormal wear or severe coking of the turbine, thereby damaging the turbocharger.
In short, proper daily maintenance is crucial for extending the service life of turbochargers. For more information, it is recommended to consult professionals or consult relevant books.
