Default RE: How to take care of my turbo???

I have a petrol 1989 760 estate. It has completed 199400 miles. I regularly change the oil every 2500-3000 miles, oil change that regular will assist your turbo I also top up with slick 50 every oil change.

I do not race the engine from first starting but let the engine warm up about 5-10 mins before I use the turbo. I also always let the engine idle for 2-3 mins after completeing my journey, more after a motorway drive. This will let the oil settle down, if you switch off straight away the there is more chance of oil getting into your turbo.

These really are basic principles for turbo charged cars and will hopefully increase the longevity of your turbo.

All the best
Tom
