I recently purchased a Kia Sportage and I want to make sure my turbocharger lasts as long as possible. What steps can I take to properly maintain my turbocharger?
ReplyRegularly change your oil and filter according to manufacturer recommendations. Dirty oil can cause damage to the turbocharger.
Allow your engine to cool down before turning it off. This will prevent oil from clogging in the turbocharger, reducing its lifespan.
If you hear a whining or grinding noise coming from your turbocharger, make sure to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.
Avoid using low quality or contaminated fuel, as this can lead to buildup and damage in the turbocharger.
