Purchased a 2019 Mazda CX-5 with 2.5L Turbo engine, my first vehicle with Turbo engine, need some help from experienced folks.
I've read "not to drive until the engine has warmed up", "don't shut-off the engine right away", need some clarification on these two more than anything else.
Just a few minutes ago, the car starts right up idling at around 1,450 RPM, goes down to 1,200 after 30 seconds, took full 1 minute to reach 1,000. After 3 minutes it's hair below 1,000 RPM. The ambient temperature was 42℉. I usually drive off after 30 seconds of idling, but the OM says, "After starting the engine, let it idle for about 10 seconds". I then drive 25MPH for 3-4 min to reach 45MPN zone street.
The OM also says, "After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, trailer towing for a long time, idle the engine at least 30 seconds before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be damaged". I have to drive 25mph before reach my driveway, do I still need to idle 30 seconds before turning off the engine?
Please feel free to give any and all advices so I can get clear idea , as I'm hoping to keep this CX-5 for 15 years/150,000 miles or longer.
