When I first went into tanks we were taught a 5 minute cool down at 1000 RPMs. Start up was after the gauge showed oil pressure 1000-1500 RPMs for 10 minutes on cold start. Reason stated was the turbo. We were told that it took a little time for oil to actually get to the turbo on start up. Didn't want to spin the turbo up with no oil. On shut down pretty much the same thing. Let it spool down. When they started selling turbo cars a lot of owners had turbos go out. They never had any training on how to drive a turbo equipped engine. In the late 70's we got new turbos for the tanks. They had a galley built into them that held enough oil so that we no longer had the warm up and cool down times. They also had ceramic bearings. I know a lot of people with modern turbo equipped vehicles and you don't hear about nearly as many turbo problems today. On an older tractor I would err on the side of caution.
