I afresh purchased a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring Edition with a four-cylinder turbo engine. The salesman said to let the car run for a abounding two account afore and afterwards active it, to let the turbo calefaction up and air-conditioned down. My brother-in-law is a mechanic. He’s formed on cars all his life, and he said he’s never heard of this. I don’t appetite to aching the car by not afterward the dealer’s instructions; however, I don’t like abacus accidental gas emissions into the atmosphere either. Not to acknowledgment crumbling my time. Since my drive to assignment is bisected a mile and best of my active is in boondocks aural a two-mile ambit of home, I feel the car is dabbling added than I’m absolutely active it. For best trips, I don’t accept a botheration with the two-minute air-conditioned downs. What is your booty on this? I attending advanced to your comments.

All dealership advisers are not appropriately knowledgeable. And salesmen are assassin because they’re acceptable at accepting bodies to buy cars, not because they necessarily apperceive a lot about them. This guy had his headlight durably built-in in his taillight socket.
In the actual aboriginal canicule of commercially accessible turbos, in the 1970s and ‘80s, you were brash to let the car abandoned afterwards it was run hard. That would acquiesce the oil to broadcast through the turbo and abide to air-conditioned it off afore you shut off the engine.
The danger, in those days, was that if the turbo was too hot aback you shut off the engine, the oil that was in it ability dry up and get “coked,” blocking those oil passages like affection ache blocks your arteries. We did alter a agglomeration of benumbed turbos with 75,000 afar on them aback in those days.

But that’s aloof not the case anymore. Turbos are bigger and, conceivably added importantly, oils are bigger — decidedly constructed oils. And dabbling to air-conditioned the turbo aloof isn’t all-important at all now.
I mean, if you aloof accomplished aggressive Pike’s Peak with two mothers-in-law in the aback bench and a block abounding of rocks you blanket from the National Parks, you ability appetite to let the car abandoned for a minute afore shutting it down. But for the added 364 canicule a year, aloof alpha the car and drive away, and shut it off aback you get to your destination. In fact, if you alarm the dealership and ask to allege the account administrator rather than a salesman, that’s apparently absolutely what he’ll acquaint you.
So no added idling, Bonnie. Get out there and adore your life.
