Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum since I just picked up my 2015 Explorer Sport. Actually this is the first non-pickup vehicle that I've owned since prior to about 1994. It's my previous ownership of two Powerstroke diesels that prompts this question. As a diesel owner it has always been drummed in my head that you never turn off a diesel while the turbo is hot. I had an Insight gauge to measure exhaust gas temps and I did not shut the truck down until those temps came down to around 300 degrees. What occurs to me though is that I have never heard the same warning about turbo'd gas engines. Should I be treating my 3.5 L Ecoboost with the same kid gloves? If so, why is there no mention of this anywhere in the manuals? Any info would be appreciated.
