An adequate supply of clean oil is essential to the proper operation of the turbocharger. The rotating assembly (turbine wheel, connecting shaft, and compressor wheel) can attain speeds of 130,00 to 140,000 rpm during boost. Interuption or contamination of the oil supply to the bearings (in the center housing) which support the rotating assembly can result in major turbocharger damage. As a result, the engine oil must be changed more often than a non-turbocharged engine. Refer to Maintenance Schedules, Indicators and Service Procedures.
