Original turbo, motor, trans no issues at 250,000 miles about 10 years of heavy commute use in terrible traffic. Oil consumption was about 1 qt every 10k miles at 250k ( down almost a quart at 7500 miles).

What I used to not know about modern turbo engines is that they don’t just allow a smaller engine to make more power, they make more torque at a low rpm’s. The few I have driven had great throttle response and move through traffic effortlessly, even if their all-out power is sometimes not so impressive. To have a torque peak at perhaps 1800 rpm’s is just what they do, and you don’t need to hammer them to move. I’ll use his recommendations on my new Tundra, see you back here in 5 years with my experience with it.

I've always changed my oil regularly at 10K kms with OEM standard oil AND always cooled down the engine before turning it off... and I've never modified my vehicles drive train away from the OEM standard. I can attest that the advice in this video is spot on. My current daily drive is a 1.6L CRDI that I've owned from new in 2008. Just last weekend I performed the 330,000km service. The car still runs perfectly as expected and averages less than 4.5L/100km (over 52mpg US) on every tank! I'm still on the original clutch and brake pads. I cannot endorse the advice in this video strongly enough. Take care of your car and you will be better off. The roads are NOT a racetrack.

Good tips indeed. Modern turbo engines (on economy biased vehicles) are not race cars. Manufacturers use the turbo as a kind of “cheat” to increase power, and maintain efficiency. At some point in our lifetime we (usually) realize that cheating catches up with us. This tough lesson can be very expensive when applied to the principals of turbocharged engines.

Non turbo people are just too lazy to keep the maintenance up. You don’t have to drive a turbo above 3k revs ever, you’ll have bottom end torque and engine longevity increases as redline is redline in both turbo & non turbo. Mileage is up on a turbo , premium also means better detergents as well. Leaving your subdivision or the first two miles on the road keep the revs at 2000 or so. Before shutting off the engine drive a few at 2k rpm’s a coupla miles b4 your destination. Pull up, put in park and idle for one minute every time. That single min idle will add up over the time of the engine. And often that sit will allow you to gather your phones empty water bottles.

@dougrobinson8602 6 месяцев назад

@@firingallcylinders2949 The primary reason we're seeing so many small turbocharged engines is because of corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. Smaller engines use less fuel when they're under low boost. But from what I've seen, many manufacturers are programming for boost to come in early, which makes low end torque. That negates some of the benefit of the smaller engine. Since the vast majority of drivers never use the upper end of the rev range, they feel like their car is more powerful. CCN is 100% correct about turbocharged engines using more oil and creating more blowby past the piston rings. The oil in that blowby can gum up intake valves on direct injection engines and even cause sticking rings which will really increase the oil consumption. Turbos are also very hard on cooling systems. If your car has an electric coolant pump, expect it not to last as long as it would on a naturally aspirated engine of the same displacement.

@chrisbradley3224 6 месяцев назад

A couple issues. Oil is pumped by a positive displacement pump and absolutely has no issue flowing through the turbo on warmup. If the pump can move the oil, which is ensured by the winter rating, you will get adequate oil pressure at the turbo immediately. Also, almost every competently designed modern turbo engine has an electric water pump and will run the pump and fan after shutdown. Additionally, thick oil warms up marginally faster than thin oil due to greater frictional losses. Agree with your advice overall just nitpicking 😊.

@TheFrenchPug 3 месяца назад

I was thinking the same thing. I have a BMW with twin turbos and an electric waterpump. Plus. BMW gives you an oil temp gage vs.a coolant gage. So you can see when the oil moves off the cold mark to start driving "spiritedly." One of my turbos gave out at 148k miles. Just put 2 new ones in. Lubrication is extremely important. Good tips here. I agree.

If we are nit picking them an engine displaces the same amount of air every 2 revolutions regardless of charging. The only difference is air density the throttle body & turbo can increase or decrease the oxygen content via density changes NOT change the volume in the engine. It’s a very important distinction that all good tuners and engineers understand.

The topic of this video is super interesting, in our particular case in the workshops here we are witnessing a strange combination of effects in vehicles with turbocharged engines, defective engines where the turbo presents internal destruction of the turbines and oil leaks, beides catalytic exhausts completely clogged

Good info. I also have great confidence in both Honda & Toyota engineers in providing the best examples of modern turbo engines. That means every aspect of a turbo engine's design is to work as a whole, not just some engine with a turbo hung on it. Treated well, I have every confidence that an owner can enjoy long engine life.

@donk499 6 месяцев назад

Seems like great advice indeed. The little engine is working much harder with a turbo, so needs much more care to last...

Sage advice for owners of these cars that bought them new or with a full service history. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who lease cars do virtually no maintenance unless they are forced to. I've looked at countless carfax reports on dealers sites listing these 3 year old lease returns and easily 80% do not even follow the manufacturers recommended oil change interval which is too high anyway. Lots of them will do no oil changes in 30k miles and the rest will do one oil change. Buyer beware!!

@robiecarmichael9958 4 месяца назад

Ahmed, great advice. Bought a new 22 Honda CR V 11/22 as of today has just under 9600 miles on it. Coming from a class 8 Diesel truck background, and we are now retired. So with all of the above in mind oil changes are done @ six month intervals. Oil and filter is way cheaper than engine. As always your insight and advice are spot on. Keep up the good work. Hope you , your channel and your shop will continue to prosper and grow.

After driving Saabs for over a decade, it's been easy to see that Turbos are the way to go. A properly managed turbo setup on a small 120 CID 4 cylinder gives such a broad power band. Sipping gas on the highway up around 35mpg with a huge power reserve on tap, or pulling like a small v8 as needed. The big three really screwed up when they pretty much ignored this option up until the mid 2000's. Change that oil around 3-5k miles though.

@jefftrimm7806 6 месяцев назад

One other tip… disable the start-stop feature on your car. Having your engine turn off at a stoplight and heat-soak your turbo is terrible for it.

@riteshdhawan8383 6 месяцев назад

Another valid point. On a turbo-propped engine the start-stop feature must be disabled before starting to drive the car. But , then again this too will be often forgotten.

Awesome video! This helped me solidify what I already thought. Maintenance has never been more important. And don't drive your car hard. I found the idea of letting the engine cool down very helpful. I'm glad you explained that.

“Don’t drive your car hard” Hard to follow that advice when you got a beast V6 turbo

@gamesmaster1060 2 месяца назад

Drive it however you want. It's stupid that people think modern turbos wear this easily. Even the turbos on problematic turbo cars like the ecoboost arnt known to go. It's either the wetbelt or a coolant leak.

@danwake4431 6 месяцев назад

i have a Stinger, and on my commute to work i jump on the interstate less than 5 minutes from starting the car. So while its tempting to romp on it as soon as im on the ramp,. i use a light foot and gradually increase speed. then when i am getting closer to work i take it easy and let it cool down as im pulling into the parking lot and sort of idle it along until i get to where i want to park.

@crooney82 6 месяцев назад

I absolutely love your videos. The cirrus sr-22 T has a 9 liter flat air cooled six cylinder engine with two 30lb turbo chargers on it. The earlier models required a 5 minute cooldown period to avoid cooking oil on the bearings in the turbos. Also it’s pretty consistent across all piston airplanes to require a 5-10 minute warmup period at a min and see oil temps get to operating levels before you can take off. These expensive continental turbo engines are notorious for failing early and I really think it’s because you have a lot of men flying them that aren’t car guys and they think they can treat these huge engines like they are a vacuum cleaner. On-off. Even the 60,000 hp jets I fly for work are the same way. It’s 5 minutes min time from cold to takeoff at a min and after you land it’s three minutes to shut them off otherwise you could thermally shock the engine. I think Toyota and Honda were smart in the 1980s and 1990s to release naturally aspirated low power engines that were somewhat impervious to these kinds of abuses and really think they are the best cars ever made for mass consumption.

@stachowi 6 месяцев назад

awesome post, i'm also an aviation guy, what do you fly?

@drcovell 5 месяцев назад

Well said! Any ICE engine requires a warm-up period-Aluminum block or not! I would change oil in turbo vehicles every *3K* miles, just like I did in my diesel cars and trucks.

@tbas8741 4 месяца назад

You know the most modern turbos also need that cool down after driven hard (even if WATER & Oil cooled) but car makers removed this "rule" so they can meet emmisions requirements because a car idling for a few mins is not good for those stats. This is evident when looking at older subarus 99/00 Model (on the drivers door is a sticker saying to let it idle 2 minutes after heavy driving. 2001 model Subarus did not have this sticker but the same engine same turbo, so people stopped letting them cool down and killed turbos early. Allowed to warm up and cool down properly a tiny TD04 on a 99 WRX should last 350-500,000KM or basically 2 Engine Lifespans

@robertcochran7103 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for posting this excellent video, I remember my uncle reporting that his turbochargers had failed on his pickup truck, which he used for towing a 14,000 pound recreational trailer. It was right around the 100,000 mile mark. Fortunately he had an extended warranty and the turbochargers were replaced at no cost to him. I think he takes wonderful care of his vehicle -- he is still using it.
