Former Honda tech- definitely would agree that more frequent full synthetic oil changes on turbo engines would be well advised. On the 1.5L turbo specifically Honda has been having issues with injectors leaking gas and diluting the engine oil and setting dtcs. The 1.5s also have an emerging issue with the head gaskets springing very small coolant leaks internally into the combustion chamber and causing cold start misfires when mild, and non stop dead cylinder misfires when the issue is more advanced- but that’s a separate discussion 😒

With these new types of engines….interference engines….most manufacturers recommend using full synthetic and changing it often.,,and using the light weight oil because the parts inside the engine fit so tightly together and heat up that much hotter, it’ll bake traditional oil onto the cylinder walls creating friction and then damages the internals leading to engine failure…a lot of them also have the vvt technology in them which uses a solenoid that contains very fine screens that the oil flows through and when chunks of debris get into the engine oil…it clogs the screens in the vvt and blows them Out causing the solenoid to leak and then loses plowed because it can’t properly engage that solenoid/cam…I bought an 05 trailblazer with the inline 6 that has the vvt in it….the mechanic I went to told me to never use synthetic oil because it’ll damage the valves…so I used traditional oil one time…the engine ran like it was a diesel so I took out the owners manual and read it from cover to cover and sure enough it recommended using synthetic oil only…..runs much nicer now

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

My youngest son bought an old boxy Volvo station wagon that had a turbo with 110,000 on the OD. He got it for cheap due to having electrical gremlins that the owner couldn't afford to have found and fixed. Sonny did that on his own then installed an old Franz toilet paper bypass filter to keep the motor oil cleaner to prolong oil changes. He used a full synthetic and added a quart each time he changed the TP roll at 10,000 miles. He put another 200,000 miles on the car before the turbo went out. He didn't care to buy a new or used turbo so sold the beast thru craigslist to a buyer 1500 miles away that needed a body since his restored wagon was totaled in an accident.

Most of the long haul trucks and locomotives are turbo charged. They run for many many many miles. Many if not most aircraft piston engines are either turbo or supercharged. So, forced induction or not, it all comes down to whether the engine was built to last, or built to fill a price point or a government interference point and then fail.

@digiwargo171

Well do also keep in mind 18 wheelers use diesel which is already more efficient than gas. Diesel trucks were choking out in high altitudes so back in the day in NA form so owners would fit turbos and superchargers so they could continue to haul across mountainous high altitude areas. Of course the benefit is Diesels love forced induction and made 'em stronger even at sea level

Actually a turbo doesn't actually give you better fuel economy; in fact if you go heavy on the throttle all the time, you will actually consume more fuel then if you got a bigger engine in the first place. BUT a turbo will get more power out of a smaller engine; and if you cruise just below your turbo area, then you can get lower fuel consumption and still have plenty of burnout power.

Oil and filter changes happen when I have time, and I never use synthetic oil. I basically keep oil and water in it and it just keeps on going. I'm a mechanic myself.

Changing your oil is easy and not expensive at all. I've had turbos for 20 years. 3,000 miles tops with synthetic oil. Never had a problem. It's good advice. Thanx old man.

The recommended oil change interval for “hard service,” or whatever they call it, is much shorter than the “standard” interval. Many of us drive mostly shorter trips, which is hard service and requires the more frequent oil change intervals. And the turbo also increases wear. I just bought a turbocharged car and plan to observe or exceed the 5,000-mile intervals for oil and filter, using full synthetic oil.

Its more to do with rpm, smaller engines tend to rev higher so that produces more wear, my 2.2L turbo diesel Mazda is over 200k milies still going strong. Cruising at 1700-1900rpm just isnt as much wear as a similar gas engine. Yes regular oil changes at 3-4k miles helps a lot

I know someone who bought a brand new VW Golf. They obviously didn't do any homework, because it has turbo and it cost about AU$20,000 more than a comparable, much better car. Because it's fully imported, they don't make parts for them in Australia. Just one blown tyre cost them AU$400, because they use non-standard tyre sizes. The standard tyres of a comparable vehicle would have only cost them about AU$200-$250 each for some top of the line tyres. When I was looking at getting another car, they tried to talk me into getting a VW. Their only argument was it comes with seven years warranty. I asked them why it needs seven years warranty and what that warranty covers. -They couldn't answer my question. Oh yeah, a few months after they bought the Golf, it developed a serious mechanical problem that took a couple of weeks to fix. That's because it took about a week and a half just to get the parts!

Mercedes Benz had a Turbo-diesel engine in the 1980s that routinely got 300,000, even 400,000 miles. Many of those cars are still on the road today. But of course, buying one car every 30-years isn’t profitable if you’re a car company 🤷‍♂️

5,000 I wouldn't wait that long on a turbo. Do it at 3,000. They run hotter and faster You also shouldn't shut off a turbo engine after driving. Let the oil lubricate everything at idle at least a few minutes before shutting it down. C'mon Scotty give the people all the information

Turbos have been used forever dude, I had an old saab from the 80s with a turbo. It’s not a new failure point, it’s how you get power with less displacement, an engine built to handle a turbo will do so very well and be reliable for many many miles, I have a 2002 wrx (with turbo from factory) with 200k miles on everything, it all works great! Turbos are great things.

5000 miles is roughly 8000km. Unless your car has been heavily tuned and power level increased, changing oil that often is simply waste of money. I have Volvo S60 T5, factory interval is 20000km (~12500 miles) and that's perfectly fine with quality oil ( I use Mobil 1 New life 5W-40). More important is, don't put load on cold engine, don't go full throttle with high gear, low rpm and always let turbo cool after driving.

Most manufacturers have mitigated the problems that come with turbochargers. I'd say it's good practice to change any vehicles oil at 5k mile intervals. Please buy quality filters,not the really cheap orange ones. OEM is good,as is puralator,napa,and a few others.

I don't think that's necessary if you weren't driving it hard. I.e. if the turbo wasn't spinning that fast and wasn't compressing air much. In calm driving, I find I barely use any boost (maybe 3 or 4 psi at times) especially on the side streets near my home. And if I was driving hard (WRX STI), I'll have been driving gently the last few minutes before parking anyway. I know it still rotates, and maybe I'm wrong about it not being a concern in this case 🤷🏻‍♂️

"whatever. My (insert turbo car model) has 10,000,000 miles on it and I never change the oil!!!"

If more turbo is deployed it will also have the side effect of taking those cars off thre road sooner than a car with a regular engine. They may not say it but the govt would be interested in a younger fleet that has newer emission technology.

I have a twin turbo 1.6 diesel. Sounds like a reliability nightmare, but I don't do many kilometers, and I change the oil every year. The last oil change interval was only about 6000 km, which sounds like very little, but I drive almost exclusively in the city, which is particularly bad for the engine. Guess what? The engine runs perfectly, even with 200k km. Simple maintenance can make anything seem reliable. Another important thing with turbo engines is letting them cool down before turning them off.

Never shut down a turbo after hard acceleration, give it 5 minutes to allow the turbo and oiling system to cool down, or you'll coke the bearings and prematurely kill the turbo, which are extremely expensive to replace out of warranty.
