Turbochargers Spin at Over 200,000 RPM. Protection Has Never Been More Critical.
Modern automotive engineering is changing rapidly.
To meet increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions requirements while delivering stronger performance, vehicle manufacturers are adopting smaller-displacement turbocharged and TGDI (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection) engines at an unprecedented rate.
These advanced powerplants generate higher temperatures, greater pressures, and increased stress on critical engine components than previous generations.
For drivers, this means one thing; Engine oil has become more important than ever.
A turbocharger can spin at speeds exceeding 200,000 RPM while being exposed to extreme thermal loads. Without proper lubrication and protection, heat, deposits, oxidation, and wear can gradually impact efficiency and long-term reliability.
Three simple practices can help support turbocharger health:
✔ Allow the engine to stabilize after demanding operation
✔ Maintain clean air filters to ensure optimal airflow
✔ Use advanced engine oils specifically engineered for modern turbocharged engines
BENZOL® API SQ engine oils are developed to meet the protection requirements of today's TGDI, hybrid, and turbocharged gasoline engines.
Formulated with advanced synthetic technology, they help provide:
✓ Enhanced wear protection
✓ Improved oxidation resistance under high temperatures
✓ Superior engine cleanliness and sludge control
✓ Protection against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI)
✓ Reliable performance in stop-start and severe driving conditions
As engines continue to evolve, lubrication technology must evolve with them.
