    I think the revving is only done with carbed units? Or something along that line.

    If you have a turbo, let it idle for a few minutes before shutting it down. That way the turbo has a chance to cool down as well.

    This is so true. Kaya nga, medyo cool lang akong mag-drive pag malapit na akong magpakarga ng diesel dahil ayaw ko nang i-engage ang turbo.....

    Just switch it off! That rev the engine bit is a throwback to the carb days, where it helps to leave a bit of fuel in the chamber to help in your next start. Remember the last car where you had to pump on the gas before you could start?

    Yup, that's it alright. Mine is a turbo-diesel so I have the turbo timer to delay the shut-off for me especially if I'm in a hurry.

    thanks guys for all the info, minsan kasi napapaisip din ako bakit nga naman kelangan pa mag rev before nila off yung engine. magagaling pagdating sa sasakyan yung mga tito ko at ibang mga kakilala pero pag nag switch off sila ng engine kelangan mag rev muna, talagang pinapaiyak muna nila yung engine nila sabay off ng engine.

    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...

    one more thing, normal ba sa car ko (honda civic) na lampas ng isang guhit dun sa gitna ng temp at hindi sya bumababa, kahit na tumatakbo ako sa expressway for example sa slex or nlex. Sa toyota corolla ko kasi pag tumakbo ako ng highway bumababa ang temp ko. bagong overhaul ang radiator ko, gumagana naman ang radiator at condenser fan ko. please help me guys.. thank you!!

    Unless, otherwise specified by the User's Manual...just switch off the engine and pull out the key.

    Rev pa? Urban legend lang yan.

    reving your engine before shut down will just do the ff:
    -waste fuel
    -leave unburned fuel in the cylinders that may leak down to the crank case.

    Just switch off the engine after you park it.

what is the proper way of turning your engine off?
