My Ford manual states during trailer pulling or heavy load conditions allow the engine to idle 7-10 minutes for cool down to prevent carbon forming in the turbo bearings from over heated oil due to excessive heat. I also have a EGT indicator on the turbo outlet and I let it cool to 225-250 degrees before turning off the engine.
