I know that some big rigs have a turbo timer which can be set by the driver to achieve a complete and proper cool down of the oil going thru the oil system and turbo. It is a problem with big rigs after running up and down mountains and passes where the turbo takes a beating. Any thoughts?

It's always beneficial for the turbos after some hard running to take away the heat there by some low rpm running for say ten minutes and of course the aux electric pump continues to flow coolant through the turbos after you switch off.
