Rule of physics. Energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change
form.
Exhaust gasses are loaded with heat energy. The turbine wheel of the
"turbo" extracts that heat energy and converts it to mechanical energy.
Exhaust temperature measured down stream of the turbine side is cooler

If you can get to the motor bearings at all, a few drops of ATF on each

In class 8 trucks 9, 10, and 13 speed are common. A 12 speed is
rare. (I won't say "doesn't exist" - but I am not aware of any.)
And as much as I like them, it would be tiresome in a car.

The bleeder screws are soft, so go to your local Ace Hardware and get a reverse
(left hand) drill bit slightly larger than the hole in the bleeder screw.
More often than not, when you attempt to drill it out the screw will come loose
and come out on the bit.
