Hey guys,
I have a a question about engine cool down. I just bought a new dodge 3500 Ram with a 6.7 cummins diesel. I was reading the manual and came to the cooling down of the diesel turbo and it was explaining engine cool down of 3 to 5 min depending on load.
It goes on to say that this is nessesary to allow the lubricating oil and coolants to carry excess heat away from combustion chamber, bearings, ect...
It states that this is especially important for turbo charged and charge air cooled engines
Would this apply to a supercharger?
My Lotus manual say's nothing of this and it has a similar boost.
I'm not a mechanic or engine tech but should I follow this procedure with my car?
