In a diesel engine with a conventional turbocharger lubricated by the engine oil circuit, what oil lubricates its bearings?

Correct answer

The manufacturer-specified engine oil.

Engine oil, with the viscosity and approvals specified by the manufacturer. Do not substitute gear oil or select oil solely from turbocharger speed. The circuit supplies the bearings and returns oil to the engine. Warm-up and shutdown procedures depend on the vehicle and use; one minute of idling is not a universal rule.
