hehehe.. lolz!

ako, I just let the car idle a little bit and then shut it off (specially on my daily drivers..) but if its my Supra, I let the Turbo Timer do its job (usually 30 seconds on normal driving and 1 min after a pass on the drag strip.. or after a freeway run.)

aite, peace.

depends sa running hours mo... for long distance travel... cool down ka muna before swithcing off... pero kung sa pangmalapitan lang... off mo na...
By the way,, FYI lang... Diesel engine is not for long idling.... basta nasa Normal operating temperature na sya.. if possible iload nyo na kaagad... long idling will cause unburned diesel to mix with your oil... parang dillution na rin yun ng engine oil and diesel.....
although oil din ang diesel, pero yung viscosity nya ay di gaya ng engine oil... it will affect your car's internal parts...

Well said bro. Without load the rings seals prematurely against the cylinder walls causing blow by. That is why compression is poor leading to more than normal contamination of the oil due to oxidation.

In addition, turbo in diesels that are water cooled dessipates the heat more quickly to prevent oil from cooking. A minimal idling is neccesory before shut off unless you just raced it.
