← TechnologyWhich premature engine issue results from turbocharger oil starvation?
A)Bearing failure and rotor seizure✓
B)Increased octane requirement of fuel
C)Catalytic converter increased backpressure
D)Elevated risk of cylinder knocking
💡 Explanation
Bearing failure and rotor seizure result from oil starvation because lubrication ceases during transient peak demands, enabling metal-to-metal contact and adhesion causing total failure rather than gradual wear. Therefore, bearing seizure leads promptly to total turbocharger failure, rather than fuel or exhaust systems changes.
