NOTE: Engines built after June 1993 may use a copper washer in both ends of the turbocharger lubricating oil supply line. The washer should be replaced
whenever the line is removed.
Lubricating oil is vital to the turbocharger life; therefore, clean engine oil must be added through the oil supply fitting anytime a new turbocharger is installed.
NOTE: New turbochargers must be prelubricated before start-up.
Pour 50 to 60 cc [2 to 3 oz] of clean engine oil into the oil supply fitting. Rotate the turbine wheel to allow the oil to enter the bearing housing.
