stopstart engines are designed for it
different starters cables etc

a lot of modern cars have an electric pump to circulate oil around the turbo when you turn it off, if the temp is too warm.
In start stop traffic, the turbo will have had time to slow down before the engine turns off. It’s not as if you’re sitting at 3000 rpm, then it suddenly stops

no but it will switch off a lot sooner than i would have turned the key
Yeah, but sitting on the motorway at 70 is not stressing the engine or turbo. The engine will be sitting at normal running temp. When the engine stops, the inlet air will be completely shut off, which will prevent the turbo from running on as well.
It’s not like a tractor full open, at max power on a cultivator or mower, with the exhaust manifold sitting amber

you havent seen me on the motorway
But cost of battery and starter motor?

it’s to do with temperature of oil, as I understand if the oil is extremely hot as is the turbo and it stops it boils the oil around shaft and that’s why they fail, I hate stop start on my disco for that very reason
But they don’t stop when the oil is hot, they will run on until the oil has cooled suitably, or there is an electric pump which runs on when the engine is stopped.
if your vehicle can display the oil temperature, then watch it. As above, most cars aren’t stressed at all driving at motorway speeds.

The engine management system’s only allows the start stop work when everything right for it to work
Ours doesn’t always turn off when in traffic

All of our diesel is “white”
I haven’t stored any on farm ( my farm is 20 km from town & where I live ) for years now. I just buy a fuel trailer load ( 2000 l ) at the pump whenever I need it during busy times such as planting or harvesting. At harvest I might be buying 2000 l every day, but that’s only for a week or so

I lately noticed the asda home delivery vans filling up at their neighbouring filling station which was 8 pence dearer than their own

They will be using a fuel card , which their own store will not take
Turbo's fail because of Lack of oil pressure when engine is stopped no matter if it's hot or cold, they run on a film of oil between shaft and bushes and it's these that wear over time or switching off engine before turbo has slowed down, temperature is a factor in so much that more wear will take place when hot than cold because of the oil being thinner, today's turbo's are a lot different to the old one's that took a while to achieve full boost, now they have variable variable angled blades to achieve boost quicker but speeds have risen up to 150,000 rpm so that can explain why some manufactures have fitted electric oil pumps to turbo's to help with slowing down wear, unfortunately this also adds to the cost and maintenance of the machine.
