I did some reading in a diesel magazine and it said to let the exhaust temperature cool to 400 degrees fahrenheit or risk having the engine oil "coke" in your turbo.
I have already got into the habit of letting the exhaust temperature drop to 500 degrees by idling after parking, but to drop to 400 would take quite a bit more idling.
I used the Mobil 1 ESP 5w-40 (229.51 rating), do you guys think I should be worried about coking?
