[RESOLVED] Does larger turbo = extra oil?

[DearDoger]

I put a 16g in my 2g. My friend that helped asked if i had to put a lil extra oil for the bigger turbo IDK. Should i.?

 

[HIGHPSI4]

Nope, fill it up as normal.

No. The turbo is not THAT much bigger. So its ok with 4qts.

No, there's absolutely no reason to put more oil in for a "larger" turbo, just make sure your dipstick reads at the right level and that's all you have to do. Also, the 16G CHRA is really no larger than the 14B CHRA, and maybe minimally larger than a T25 CHRA, so there would be at most an ounce more oil in it, if that.

No. 4 quarts of your favorite are what you need. Large or small, it doesn't matter. All oil doing in the turbo is keeping things lubricated and keeping it cool.

No, you don't have to add extra oil,just your regular 4 quarts

The turbo isn't a sump...it's oil supply is set up to drain. By the time you shut the car off, pop the hood, and pull the stick it should be drained into the oil pan.

If your turbo is holding oil, you've got big problems.

i dont think you need to put any extra oil in a motor for a larger turbo, it goes in and out so fast no need for more
