Managing TurboMax Heat and Towing Wear
The 2.7L TurboMax engine generates an incredible 430 lb-ft of torque, when properly equipped. This forced-induction system produces intense internal heat, especially when you are pulling a heavy trailer. Regular oil changes are absolutely vital. Fresh synthetic oil cools the turbocharger bearings and prevents internal friction.
