The turbocharger on your diesel is a precision-engineered component that requires proper maintenance to ensure it meets your needs and performs every time you get behind the wheel - no matter what the task is.  Here at Gateway Auto Clinic in Kettering, OH, our team is the perfect choice to ensure that the turbocharger on your diesel is always working at optimum capacity with no problems as our diesel technicians are simply the best plus when you are running tens or even hundreds of thousands of RPMs, keeping everything in good shape is absolutely necessary. Fortunately, we have exactly what you need!

Oil Maintenance - Keeping your oil maintained is an imperative part of your car’s turbo upkeep. You want to make sure your oil is at the right level and free of debris or contamination. Consult your technician on how often your oil needs to be changed - it depends heavily on what you use your truck for, and how often, as well as what sort of condition it’s in mechanically. If dirty oil builds up in the small passageways to the turbo, or the oil level gets too low, it’ll starve the turbo of oil and destroy it in short order. Dirty oil also causes extreme wear on the bearings.

Carbon Buildup - Be sure to keep your emissions components in good working order. While the truck may run fine, a check engine light or malfunctioning emissions component means more carbon buildup. If carbon is allowed to build up in passageways and inside of the turbo, it’ll dramatically decrease the efficiency and lifespan of your SUV’s turbocharger.

Coolant - Turbos aren’t very forgiving. Tight tolerances have to be maintained to keep it operational. If the components in your turbo expand too much as a result of overheating, it’ll catastrophically fail; plus it’s only designed to withstand certain temperatures. The same coolant that runs through your car’s engine flows through the turbo to keep it cool. Make sure your coolant levels are where they should be, and have your cooling system regularly flushed of debris and contamination. Otherwise, coolant passageways could become blocked, and cooling efficiency compromised.

Whether you need a new turbo, or just want to keep yours going strong, our professional technicians have you covered. For the best diesel service shop in Kettering, OH, call or stop by Gateway Auto Clinic today.
