In the Jeep manual it is noted that depending on the use of the vehicle (roads, highways or trailer use) the engine should be allowed to idle for one minute or more.The turbo doesn't spin when the engine is off. It runs off exhaust gases, so if there's no engine running, the turbo isn't spinning. There's enough oil in the system to lubricate the bearing in the meantime. And it's not off long enough to worry about coking the oil - same with the top end
If I drive long and fast on a "high way", then I come to a red light, I stop, the ESS starts, the engine stops.
How can the oil still flow to the turbine shaft of the turbocharger (via the oil pump), which is still running, when the turbocharger has just been activated a short time before.
It's in this logic that I wonder how the mechanics can withstand these constraints.
