WARNING
Especially Important for cars with turbo
englnes:
Do not race the engine immediately af ter
starting.
The oi! has a low viscosity when
cold and does not reach directly all the parts
to be
lubricated.
Before
swltching off: Always
let the
en-
gine speed drop to
idle
before switching off.
After
a
hard drive let the engine idle for
a
few
minutes before switching off. If the turbo is
tating at high speeds and the engine is swit-
ched off there is a great risk of heat damage
or shearing due to lack of lubrication.
