Excessive idling, long periods of slow speed driving or over fueling the engine will cause coking of the turbine. If the oil was cooked, it is due to running the turbo hard and shutting down before the circulating oil has a chance to cool down the turbo. What oil is left in the turbo gets overheated and breaks down.
Only Dodges have this problem.....
Seriously, good explanation here from Bedlam.
