Owner’s Corner
  • Cool Down: Let the car idle for 30 seconds after a long trip. This keeps oil moving to cool the turbocharger.
  • Premium Fuel Recommended: Using high-octane fuel allows the computer to maintain full power. Standard fuel may result in reduced timing and lower output.
  • Oil Quality is Key: Performance is protected by using 5W-30 Full Synthetic Oil. Avoid conventional oils to prevent blockages in the turbo system.
