Mazdaspeed - turbo went out

[BlitzPuppet]

Mine is 8.5 qts, and it specifies full synthetic. Who can beat that?

My DB605D takes 52.8 quarts....beat that.

(I wish I had one )

When I had my Volvo 770 with DD13 it did take around 42 quarts.

Christ. Over 10 gallons? I know a semi, but still.

Apparently a Bugatti Veyron takes 42qts as well.

 

[radtechtips]

Most I've seen is 7.9qts in an old jag

Dry fill 8.5 quarts on my LX450, but change w/filter is only 7.8.

Then multiply it by between 6 and 8 changes a year. Shell and Chevron loved me.

What does oil sump size have to do with a bad turbo?

 

[NutBucket]

Maybe he doing mad donuts and the g-forces caused the oil pump to suck air. So a bigger/deeper sump may have prevented the problem

Donuts in a FWD car - ha.

 

[NutBucket]

Cafeteria trays!

Reverse!

Meh. I can do that in my civic

 

[cr2250]

I can see it possible in a MS3 w/ the torque, but a civic? Haaaa

Any update on the car?

You can do that in any FWD car cause it's on trays. Just a bit ridiculous when you see it in action.

 

[radtechtips]

Trays or a little bit of snow works

Turbo is water cooled but oil lubricated. I don't know how one would prove oil changes done yourself either. I just write mine down and/or record them on a website. Subaru for example has a owners' website where you can record service yourself and it will show up with whatever service is done at a dealer.

Just keep receipts for the oil and filters. That should satisfy any warranty concerns.

I'm no engineer, but I think you'd run into bearing failure prior to overheating if you had poor enough oil that you overheated a watercooled turbo.

Yep

Got the car back.

Burning smell coming from the engine, can smell in the cabin?

Turbo breaking in? Really don't want to drive all the way back to the dealer

Quite possible that some oil, or other fluid, was spilled on the exhaust. If it doesn't go away soon bring it back in.

 

[cheezmunky]

Spilled oil from refilling it? Give it a day of driving and see if it goes away

And if something is really wrong, new engine!

Whenever I see a car for sale that has a rebuilt or new engine, I question how hard the driver drove the car.

Sure there are cases like mine where it was a fluke but still I think a engine replacement may lower the resale value.

I am finding that my car pulls much harder and boost is much more noticeable. I wonder how long my turbo has been on the fritz
