Bought a Saab in the mid 85's and the mechanic at the dealership stopped me before I drove it the first time and told me the exact same thing Scotty said about letting the engine warm up a few minutes before driving the vehicle hard and also letting the car idle for around 30 seconds before shutting off the engine. Told me that was the key to not having problems with the turbo charger. Never forgot it and never had a problem the whole time I owned the car.

Many of those things apply to non-turbo engines also. It all comes down to: properly maintain your engine, and drive moderately and it should last a long time.

@alex43223

Sure, but you can also drive it hard if you take proper care of it.

The bearings in a turbocharger spin at such a hight rate that really what is actually happening is the turbo bearings are riding on a film of oil. Similar to the concept of tires on a road riding on a film of water instead of the road commonly referred to as hydroplaning. This is why oil pressure is important because the bearings at high speeds cannot make contact with metal they rely on oil separation.

Yeah, start&stop is a cancer for the engine. Here in EU every car has to have it, and in some countries you can even get fined for disabling it. I just turn it off after every startup. New volvos have it kind of more clever though. It does not shut off the engine for a few minutes after startup, and also after driving it hard. Even after you turn the engine off, you can hear the electric water pump buzzing, so I guess it still runs water through the turbo to cool it.

I drive a 2012 Volvo XC60 with much the same system. I use full synthetic oil and change every 7500 miles. I drive a lot so that's like 2 months haha. I have 176,000 miles and for "poop and laughter" I called up a Volvo specialist to ask them about how long the turbos last. The mechanic said "I've been a Volvo tech for 20 years. I've seen 2." I then called a turbo shop to see how much a hypothetical rebuild would cost. The owner replied "I don't know. Yours would be the first one I've ever seen and won't know till I got it apart". Apparently, Volvo turbos are stronger than others.

Thanks Scotty for posting this video. I have a Chevy 2012 Cruze with the turbocharged engine. It hesitates when I step on the gas. Sometimes, it does not accelerate at all which is real dangerous when I am merging with traffic. I brought it into the dealership. I told them about it but all they said was it needing a new turbocharger and intercooler because it came back with an under boost code. After they replaced it, it still has issues with hesitation, especially when it's hot outside, usually above 80 degrees. It can get to be over 90 or a 100 around here, so I dread merging onto the freeway. After watching this video, I plan on replacing the synthetic oil over 5000 miles and letting the engine warm up 10 seconds, I hope this will solve the issue with the hesitation. The dealer cant seem to solve it. Im no mechanic so I rely on car guys for advice and fixing my car. The car is great, when it doesn't hesitate or have rough idling that shakes the whole car. I'm considering buy a Corolla or Camry after watching your videos about how great Toyotas are.

Definitely useful information from a 51-year mechanic. Gonna keep all these in mind and gonna pound it into my head with my 2016 Tucson with the 1.6T.

Also another tip. Whether you are driving an AT or manual, be at least 2700-3000rpm before you floor it. Don't accelerate from like 1500rpm, you are flooding your engine and the turbo builds the boost much slower from slower rpm and you could end up with detonation from unburned fuel and there goes your entire engine and say goodbye to your car. Also if you are buying a turbocharged car, it requires much more TLC than an naturally aspirated. You have to keep an eye on everything and you have to change spark plugs much more frequently and be mindful what kind of fuel you are putting in. All require top-tier gas, Exxon, Shell, Sunaco, etc. Walmart's brandless fuel, Sam's Club etc.. or something like that will not do any good.

One more usefull piece of info is the turbocharger's duty cycle. In ordinary cars, they don't make the turbos with high duty cycle, so as Skotty says, the power is there when you need it, but it's not designed to work on full power for a long period of time. You got to let it rest a bit.

@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch Scotty is a old guy a 2zzge or a 4age is good for him

boy do I love your channel ....enjoy every and each one....and so many I haven't yet checked...

First class advice. Thank you.

Hi Scotty! This is my first question: I'm a new driver. I heard that when stopping at a red light for a long time, you should put your automatic transmission from D to N to reduce grind from the engines. I've also seen my father put it to P while waiting for a long time at a red light. Online forums say to leave it in D for safety's sake, and not to wear out the transmission clutches. As a mechanic, which practice is the best? THANKS!

Rev up your naturally aspirated engines!!!

All good tips. Speaking my language. I have 2 90s twin turbo cars..I love. They run great and I follow all the steps to maintain. But not looking forward to anything breaking some day. Fingers crossed.

Good info Scotty but I knew all this 30 years ago when I had my Mazda 323GT turbo. Never had a single problem with it. Drive a turbo car gently until it's warmed up then go full blast. Drive it gently again before shutting it off. This is good practice for all cars anyway.

All solid advice for people who dont know. Nice vid, Scotty!

2:30 you have a message... 😏😏

Have can’t say I fully agree on Turbocharged engines getting better MPG over NA engines. Had an 04’ SRT4 & 12’ Genesis 2.0 both manual with boost gauges. Did a road test from Houston to SA & only ran Vacuum based off the boost gauges & neither of them got better mpg over the same trip with my 15’ Mazda 6 (manual) & 15’ Civic Si (Manual).

I own a 2014 Volvo V40 T5 (5 Cylinder Turbo) Cross Country here on the island of Phuket in SW Thailand. Just pushed through 45,000km after 10yrs of ownership. All servicing done at the Volvo Service Center. Oil & Filter changes every 5,000km (3,000mi) or 6 months. Absolutely love this car…..!!!

I'm surprised Scotty used a Volvo car as an example!

Similar protocols to reciprocating engines in general aviation! Make 'em last...

You heard it here people! Scotty recommends we all get turbo chargers installed on our cars!!!

I have. 2022 WRX. The first thing I did to it was fitted an intercooler screen. Ten the mods began with Ernest. I’ve always warmed up he engine for least 3 to 5 minutes before driving & 1 or 2 minutes before shutting it down. After 1 year it hasn’t used any oil.

"Car is taken care of..." has peach pits sitting on the instrument panel. 😕

I like to roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up while watching Scotty Kilmers videos.

Thanks for a concise and brief description of Turbo operation. Helped me get a better understanding of them.

A very informative and practical video. Most of the points I have already read somewhere else. It was a quick revision. Thanks a lot Scotty!! 😀

Lol he changes oil alot. Every 5 to 7 thousand miles. I change mine every 3 thousand in my non turbo car with full synthetic

android 95203 He is referring to synthetic oil and not conventional. Some people don’t change their synthetic till 10,000-25,000 miles. So, changing synthetic 5-7k is more frequent than normal for many people.

@lupavo1738

If you're using 'full' synthetic, you are definitely wasting money by changing it every 3k miles, thats common sense. Full synthetic oil can easily last up 10k miles, even if you forgot to do an oil change. Thats essentially you wasting money on three oil changes on already more expensive oil.

Fun fact: Scotty’s Garage is actually a black hole 🕳 , thats why there’s so much stuff there 🔧🔩⚙️⛓🛠 😂

The peach pits on the instrument cluster are awesome!

I just got a 2015 Ford Escape 2.0L Turbo and have been learning all I can since this is my first turbo vehicle owned. As soon as I can get the money I'm getting an Oil Catch Can installed. Other than a K&N air filter, I haven't found any upgrades that are worth getting that are cheap and easy enough to buy and/or do myself.

Don't floor it at low RPM in higher gears. If you've got a manual transmission and you're cruising at 2,000 RPM in high gear don't be lazy; downshift a couple years before passing.

OMG.. a video that has no slamming of other models.

I recently changed the turbocharger in a 2005 Volvo XC90 2.5L. Specifically for this model, change the PCV hose and breather box if it’s never been changed and has over 100k miles. Replacing the turbo is expensive and labor intensive especially for an amateur home mechanic like myself with hand tools. All great tips mentioned. When the turbo goes you will know...ridiculous amount of smoke out the tailpipe and very little power. Had trouble getting up a small hill when mine went.

Awesome Thanks Scotty! Needed this video! My fusion is my first turbocharged car. I don't plan on replacing the turbo until I make the car my weekend toy

Turbos don't increase gas milage. A smaller engine does. A turbo just allows the engine to be smaller while still offering similar power.

Turbocharging is more efficient because it repurposes some of the wasted energy from the engine. So yes, they do get slightly better gas mileage than an equivalent NA car.

No wonder turbos don't last nearly as long as naturally aspirated engines. And why Toyota steers clear of turbos in almost all their cars.

I just bought a 2006 s40 T5, glad you made a video about this

Replace any journal bearing turbos for a ball bearing unit, replace tube and fin intercoolers for a bar and plate design, replace rubber and plastic charge pipes with silicone and ceramic coated aluminum, and replace all worm clamps with t-bolts. Turbo timers are a good investment as is upgrading your radiator if you plan on running anything over stock boost levels.

Turbocharged, turboheadache?

Sounds more like why you should never get a Turbo charged car

Thanks for the upload mate. I'm considering a turbo 4 and this helped a lot. I like the part about driving conservatively. I do that. I've got 161K (almost 100,000 miles) on my car that I've owned since new and have not replaced the brake pads. Note. Here in Australia, we have to pass a roadworthy test every year including a calibrated emergency brake test. It passed about 2 weeks ago.

Nah that's wild. Emergency brakes are one thing but I'd assume your brakes had to be replaced. Cause braking is friction...your pads will wear down, so unless you never break I'm kinda surprised. You ever wonder if they've changed your pads and made you pay without realizing it?

@@jakecoyne3919Yeah nah, servicing would always be the same price as per the new car at the time. Registration checks every year do a brake test and they always passed. I knew the mechanic quite well and he looked at the pads and they were still good, Sold the car now so I'll never know how much longer they lasted. Also, I'm one of those drivers that is always scanning well ahead so when I do brake, it's usually only light pressure.

Valuable information! My partner recently gave me his volvo xc70 t6 and now I know a bit more about turbo engines and how to maintain them better.
