Replacing a turbo without replacing the oil feed pipe is a common mistake.
In this Inside the Brands episode, CRP Automotive explains why turbo oil feed pipes should always be replaced when servicing or replacing a turbocharger.
Turbochargers depend on a constant supply of clean oil. Over time, heat bakes oil inside the feed pipe, creating internal restrictions that limit oil flow. Even when a feed pipe looks fine on the outside, buildup inside the pipe can cause oil starvation.
Installing a new turbo on an old or restricted oil feed pipe can quickly lead to premature turbo failure and an expensive comeback.
This video covers:
- Why turbo oil feed pipes clog internally.
- How restricted oil flow leads to turbo failure.
- Why replacing the feed pipe is critical during turbo service.
CRP Automotive offers Rein turbo oil feed pipes designed to support proper oil flow and long-term turbo reliability across a wide range of turbocharged applications.
If you work on turbocharged vehicles, this is a small step that can prevent a very big problem.
