With the rapid development of automotive technology, turbocharged engines (referred to as engines with T) have won the favor of the majority of car owners with their strong power performance and excellent fuel economy. More and more consumers regard models with T as their first choice when buying a car. However, the question of whether a car with a T needs to be warmed up has been bothering many car owners. Today, we're going to dive into this topic.

First, let's understand how a car with a T works and how it relates intrinsically to a hot car. Compared with naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines use engine exhaust gases to drive the turbine to rotate through the turbocharger, thereby greatly increasing the air intake, making the fuel combustion more sufficient, and the power output is significantly improved. However, in this process, the working environment of the turbocharger is extremely harsh, with a working temperature of up to 1000-0 °C and a speed of up to hundreds of thousands of revolutions per minute, which requires extremely high lubrication and heat dissipation performance of the oil.

In the early days, turbocharged engines relied primarily on oil for lubrication and heat dissipation due to technical limitations. During cold starts, the viscosity of the oil increases, the fluidity deteriorates, and it takes time to fully lubricate the supercharger components. If the load is high at this time, it may lead to increased wear and tear of the supercharger, or even cause failure. Therefore, for early cars with T, hot cars are the key to ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle and prolonging its service life.

But today, with the continuous advancement of technology, turbocharged engines have made significant breakthroughs in design concepts and manufacturing processes. The performance of the oil pump is greatly improved, which can increase the oil pressure to the normal operating range in a very short time, and quickly lubricate the critical parts of the engine and supercharger. At the same time, many new models are equipped with an independent cooling system to effectively control the supercharger temperature. Authoritative studies have shown that after the start of a modern car with T, the oil pump can respond quickly and provide reliable lubrication for the engine and supercharger.

Although modern cars with T-T no longer need to be warmed up for long periods of time, a moderate warm-up is still beneficial for the vehicle. The correct way to warm up the car includes: idle for 5-0 seconds after starting, so that the oil can initially complete the circulation and provide basic lubrication for the engine and supercharger; This is followed by a slow drive of 0-0 km/h at a low speed of 0-0 km/h to gradually heat up the engine and transmission at low loads; Finally, avoid steep acceleration and high-load operation during the hot phase to reduce component wear.

In special circumstances, such as cold weather or after the vehicle has been parked for a long time, the time and method of hot up need to be adjusted appropriately. In cold weather, the viscosity of the engine oil increases, and the starting resistance increases, which can appropriately extend the idle warm-up time to 10-0 minutes, and the low-speed driving time can also be increased to 0-0 minutes. At the same time, when turning on the heating system, the temperature needs to be set within a reasonable range to avoid increasing the load on the engine.

If the vehicle is parked for a long time, such as more than a week, in addition to the normal heating of the car after starting, it is also necessary to check whether the tire pressure and braking system are normal. Parking for a long time may lead to insufficient tire pressure or rusty brake discs, which affects driving safety.

Cars with T's still need to be warmed up to a certain extent, but the timing and manner of hotting have changed significantly. Knowing the right way to warm up your car not only protects the engine and supercharger and extends the life of your vehicle, but also improves fuel economy and reduces emissions. As a car owner, an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of the vehicle and mastering the method of hot car is the key to ensuring that the car remains in good running condition.
