PtPixel Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Something to keep an eye on. Have you noticed any excessive oil use between oil changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I pulled my intercooler a few weeks ago and there was a film of oil in it at 111k miles. nothing even close to a pool. I would start being a little concerned with a tablespoon. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldrego Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Something to keep an eye on. Have you noticed any excessive oil use between oil changes? Not at all, I check my oil regularly as well. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PtPixel Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It should be normal then. The oil seals within the turbo operate most effectively when the turbo is making boost - the positive pressure creates the effective seal. So you expect to have some small amount of oil leaking out the seals. If you remove the intercooler and oil starts gushing out - then your seals will probably be failing. A few drips/film is to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
