← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an engine's turbocharger experiences oil oxidation due to excessive heat?
A)Bearing failure from reduced lubrication✓
B)Compressor stall from altered airflow
C)Wastegate malfunction from blocked passage
D)Intercooler cracking from increased pressure
💡 Explanation
When turbocharger oil oxidizes, thermal breakdown causes sludge and varnish formation, diminishing its lubricating qualities, leading to increased friction and wear on the turbocharger bearings. Therefore bearing failure from reduced lubrication results, rather than stall, malfunction, or cracking, which stem from different underlying issues.
