All most every machine I own has a turbo. Turbos get really hot. What happens if you just turn the engine off every time you stop. Do that a lot and you can cook a turbo. I like the idea of letting the engine run at least five minutes to keep the oil flowing and help cool the turbo and engine down. If you are doing a lot of stopping and starting during your work day that is a lot of wear tear. I think you are better of a least letting it run long enough to cool down. Where you live and time of years makes big difference. I live on the Texas coast, 100% humidity and over 100s day of 100 degree temps will stress an engine. Works for me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
