turbo cooling V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ed on  Sat Mar 22 04:56 CST 2003 [RELATED]

There's really no need to bother with it. Switching to a good synthetic oil is the easiest and best way to insure that the oil won't bake in an overheated turbo but turbo bearings aren't going to normally be that hot with normal driving. It'd only be a potential problem if you were racing (foot heavily engaged) then shut the engine off w/o letting the turbo cool down from normal driving or idling. If you were drag racing, then shut the engine off....that'd be bad but who does that with a Volvo?
