SkyActiv Oil Analysis Thread

yea but it does have the intercooler getting air flow

True but that's not cooling the turbo down. The intercooler (air to air) lowers air temp exiting the turbo, before it goes into the intake valves. It's the oil that keeps the turbo's moving parts from overheating.

Also the Turbo has oil cooler if i recall. So the oil temp should be better than the NA.

Does anyone know where the oil cooler is?

Engine the oil cooler is below the turbo at the rear.

May be we should split the last 10 replies into a new thread?

I agree it doesnt make sense to continue adding posts as it makes it harder to find actual oil analysis which is the purpose of the thread

I mean, we're still talking about oil.

Skyactiv Oil Analysis is the thread title and topic. It's for posting Used Oil Analysis reports and discussing the results of those reports. Discussing OCI is relevant to a degree, as some people will change their OCIs according to their UOAs. However, debating the manufacturer's recommended OCI, discussing oil coking, etc. is unrelated.

Keep it on topic please.
