Yep, I totally agree, my point exactly. I disabled the auto stop/start on my Ecoboost F150 although it did idle for a couple of seconds before it shut off at a light. I had installed a pre/post lube system on an old F250 7.3 L turbodiesel, that had almost 300,000 miles on the original turbo when I sold it. I have always felt frequent oil changes and good quality oil is key to long engine life, especially with the lower viscosity oils and tighter tolerances in modern turbo charged vehicles. Oldtimer here too.Question on this ... through my employment history. Ive driven a LOT of turbo vehicles and machines... most diesel and heavy equiptment ... but it has always been my understanding that you should always give a vehicle about 5 seconds of idle to wind up at start and down before turning off..
That said -Is that just oldtimer thinking i picked up from them concerning older vehicles ... bc the auto stop/start (which i always turn off) doesnt seem to follow that thought....
