Turbocharger Oil Lines:

Turbocharged models (XT) can suffer from clogged oil feed lines leading to turbo failure. Regular oil changes with quality oil are critical. The manual covers turbo inspection and service.

Oxygen Sensors:

Pre-catalytic converter oxygen sensors can fail, leading to check engine lights and poor fuel economy. The manual provides diagnostic steps.
