Turbo Oil Drain Do's and Don'ts. No More RTV! [Tech Tip Tuesday]

[@gabrielabers5119]

Doing my first turbo build, and I'm super inexperienced with this stuff. This cleared up the questions I had. Thanks. I too have boxers BTW 😅

[@johnathonkelp3587]

I rub a thin layer of Honda bond on every oil drain gasket, let it dry completely and it'll never leak and you can reuse it.

[@knoxautophotography3422]

What if i purchased this flange and it still allows oil to come out..? getting to the point where im going to put RTV on this high tech flange because i cannot keep oil from pushing its way out from in between the turbo and the fitting. Frustrated as this is the 5th return line flange/configuration I've used without any luck stopping this issue.

[@177SCmaro]

RTV is fine so long as you're not idiot about it. More is definitely not better. If people would just follow the instructions on the tube RTV works well as a sealant for a turbo drain however there are better options out there, as we see here.

[@nique_3036]

I personally use the rtv on drain gaskets and just like you mentioned if you apply it correctly everything should be fine.

[@GTRaddict]

I tried this return oil with o-ring and the leak is always here, no difference with paper gasket. any idea ?

[@Second-gear]

Very nice machined part, love that o-ring seal.

[@MODOORTEK]

Great information, well laid out, fantastic delivery. What a great resource in the performance field you are.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Ben w thank you! We appreciate your kind words

[@whitneytay7633]

Well delivered and knowledgeable presentation. Not what I hit in my search engine😅 but glad I found this video. Very helpful, thanks!

[@EclipseBox-he1qp]

Do you guys make a drain flange for the efr7163 Borg Warner turbos? Do you recommend using a flange or they have a threaded drain port for an AN fitting. Seams the AN fitting option would obviously narrow the opening but also potentially protrude internally? Appreciate your thoughts

[@jcyber2101]

Why would these be illegal for road use as mentioned on the sale page?

[@MrCostash]

You do 12an as well? Thanks

[@dexterbenjamin6054]

nissian np300 frontier pick up we installed a brand new turbo and passing oil at the back of the turbo where the exhaust manifold bolt on

[@bnastystuntz]

U make one for the garret gtx series??

[@guitargod66]

Nice vid. Just ordered one up! I have mine apart now and didn’t realize that I shouldn’t reuse the little paper gasket

[@TURBOBEATZZZ]

I have this drain flange and it's completely AWESOME!

[@JustinMead-b1d]

Asked about using this on the truck diesel and they had no idea how to help with it.

[@zachoryfitzgerald8259]

Just ordered my T4 flanges! Super excited to get them on the car to fix my smoking turbo!

[@BlueHoodie74]

i'm trying to purchase this drain flange for my 5858, just now and your website is not working. Please advise. I can't seem to checkout. Thanks.

[@amorag59]

Thought the dog shrunk in size before I saw both come into frame 😂

[@donghunlee8620]

Is is possible to use copper spray at drain gasket? which is made with non-asbestos

[@enlightenednews5265]

The dogs stole the show.

[@aaronvanmeter7211]

Got a rear turbo drain line leaking is this important to replace ?

[@JermaineLeeBlueprintAuto]

Is it normal for a garret turbo not to have an o ring on a compressor housing?

[@themechanic568]

Turbos done use o rings in the cartridge

[@richardsanchez4435]

Should I prime my engine after replacing the oil drain line?

[@jasonschreiber6458]

No

[@camlobesvtec]

Looks like your dog is waiting for you

[@st3v3harman]

very nice! I WISH all of them were like this. So stupid using a standard gasket for such a critical item.

[@GuyX2013]

Ordered the t3/t4 drain just now 🙃

[@chrisgroves7775]

I can name one turbo company that told me to use rtv on the drain which I refused to. They told me their surface was flat and the factory was not and also my aftermarket drain flange was not either. So I sent their turbo back and went with a better turbo company

[@randystingray6544]

Awesome video imo, could you link me a oil line feed also plz. T4

[@ieatass6463]

Lmao go find it yourself. So lazy

[@randybastyr1154]

Man I like your videos!

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

randy bastyr thanks sir!

[@supercharged6771]

Great video

[@TheUWNTSUM]

12 an version coming?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Rob Rohe we have a 12AN version for the large and mid frame. To run a 12an and fit in a small to mid frame it’ll have to be an extended length piece. We will be working on one for the near future

[@a.f.e]

Just purchased gunna give it a try

[@popanollie1]

did u use it? have a opinion?

[@lilredrambler3205]

Oh. So this doesn’t go on my LLY turbo. Lol

[@sunwaterflowz]

Good job

[@scottsingleton2655]

Another great video!! Dont understand why somebody would dislike this lol.

[@blackphillbuilt8382]

It was probably a handyman.

[@scottsingleton2655]

@@blackphillbuilt8382 lol no kidding

[@darinr9424]

Hehe uncle bucks wagon. Good one

[@juusoperala1128]

Was this really just you trying to sell me that flange or were you actually trying to tell me about turbo oil drain, what about the engine side of the line, under oil line or over? Why not directly next to oil pickup... Not very informative video sorry, all i learned was that you really want me to buy that flange you yappin about.
