Does a turbo oil pipe ever require maintenance

Postby metalworker0 » Fri Apr 08, 2022 10:31 pm

Does a turbo oil supply pipe ever require maintenance, does it have to be cleaned out at so many miles, is it down as a service item?

Seam to remember somewhere, video or such, that heat from turbo can cook the oil in pipe. (heat soak maybe ) leading to build up of scabby deposits like an oven of a cooker gets.

all the best..mark

Rigid lines not so much, but flexy's can and do delaminate internally.
