but haven't got a fucking clue what this is about.

these days try finding a diesel car without one, more and more of us are driving turbo cars and when you've got black syrup instead of hypergrade lubricating a turbine that is trying to spin up to 100,000 rpm then there's going to be problems, including clogging up the oil feed in the first place.

is when arriving at motorway service areas.
High-speed caning + immediate stop and switch-off = emulsified oil = turbo death.
Also, don't sit with your foot on the brakes at the end of the slip road when you come off a motorway junction - you'll warp the discs. The stop from 70mph+ will heat the discs up a great deal, so keeping the pads clamped to one spot for a few seconds will make that spot retain more heat than the exposed disc surface for long enough to bend it. Blue Peugeot 406 estates are particularly prone to this.
