Thank's echocae, great info is alway's welcome. i'm happy that i alway's leave my motor idling for a few minutes before i turn it off, looking at all those moving parts would not want to cook oil on them :) . if you want to test effects of what your oil does when it's left on hot metal just throw some on a bar b que hot plate after you have had a fire under it half hour see what happens. cheers
Lakes, you can relax, if you are just driving around cruising, theres no need to worry, its only when you have been revving the crap out of it and putting the engine under load, then I would be worried
Great find echo, I didnt realise it is a Garret, that last pic is an awesome example of how VGT operates.
