Preventive Maintenance; Turbo Charger System - SSANGYONG RODIUS Owner's Manual

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The vehicle owner should be encouraged to observe the fol-
lowing precautions to ensure maximum turbocharger service
life.
CAUTION
• Operate the engine above idle only after normal engine oil pres-
sure has been established. Forcing the turbocharger to operate
before the bearings are adequately lubricated creates unneces-
sary friction.
• Take steps to reduce temperature and speeds from their maxi-
mum before shutting down the engine.
The engine equipped with turbocharger develops much more heats
than normal engine, so when the engine is stopped abruptly, the
oil in the bearings may evaporate due to heats and can cause
sticks.
• Use only designated engine oil and observe inspection and re-
placement intervals.

CAUTION
• At low ambient temperature, or when ever the vehicle has not
been used for a long period, normal engine oil pressure and flow
is affected. Under these conditions the engine should be started
and allowed to idle for a few minutes before operating at a higher
rpm.
• Avoid long periods of engine idling. The combination of low-pres-
sures in the turbine and compressor may allow oil to seep past
the seal into the turbine or the compressor.
• The turbocharger may need to be pre-oiled after oil change or
any service that involves oil draining. Crank the engine a few times
before allowing start, then start the engine and allow it to idle for
a period to establish full oil circulation and pressure before oper-
ating at higher rpm.
