switching off the engine

do you switch your engine right away, or wait for a few second to a minute for the oil to settle down?

I wait for the turbo to cool down.

I just switch off the engine right after parking, usually I turn off the aircon, headlights, radio then engine.

I let the engine idle for a couple of minutes kahit wala akong turbo.

really? so its really recommended to idle for a couple of minutes on a diesel ride such as the D4D turbo?

For vehicles with turbo, it is mandatory to allow the engine to idle for a minute or two before shutting it off. This allows the turbo to cool down properly.

For non-turbo vehicles, is there any advantage to letting the engine run for a while before turning it off?

even if the engine rarely reaches 2.5k rpm? delicate pala turbo diesel engines

same question here... for non-turbo vehicles, is there a proper way of switching the engine off?

ako kasi, i rev the engine muna before turning it off eh... :D
