Turbo oil

[Vertical-Extreme]

How much oil do the garrett turbos need ? I know the new twisted oil res is only a few ounces, but the boondocker one is 16 oz. Is there any issue with oil heating up when there is not very much of it ? I am working on a new tank design and right now it works good with 8 oz but i am thinking more oil might be better...?...

I can't remember exactly but I think my CPC oil tank holds about 700 ML. My oil doesn't get abnormally hot. I would imagine the cooling jacket in the CRHA helps with the regulation of oil temperature to some degree. You could increase your oil tanks surface area with heat sink fins if you're worried about the oil getting too hot.

Push turbo oil tank holds about 2-300ml, but still i modified it so it would hold around 600 ml. I had no real reason for this but it feels better!

If you don't want to worry about it run this stuff

watch the video demo and think about the turbo spinning after you shut it off, and there is no gimmick with the video, I have the same testing machine.

Would you please quit pushing this ****? Awesome video. when was the last time you ran an oil at room temp? When was the last time you spun that machine to 180k rpm? When was the last time you did a viscosity shear test on it? That machine and that video might fool the ignorant, but they don't do **** for anyone that knows better.

In response to your question, are you able to somewhat monitor heat buildup in the oil? Assuming that you are running a liquid cooled cartridge (ball bearing garrett with coolant running through) with a cool source (ie; after the cooler, before the motor) and enough volume to keep the turbo heat in check you shouldn't need much more than the 8 oz. The only reason to run more is for heat dissipation . Keep it cool with the coolant, keep an eye on the oil, and you should be ok. Keep the resorvoir in a cool location, not near the pipe.

No I wont quite pushing it, I have proven it many times in the "real world", since your a genius why don't you actual try and it and then tell me I'm wrong instead of blabbering on about whatever. I'm sure you can tell me 7 ways from sunday that you have to have this that and what ever, I don't care. The stuff works. To add the stuff it would cost less than $1.00, per oil change on the turbo oil, for that kind of money why wouldn't you. As anyone on here knows when I find something that works, I put it out there. You have no idea the heat and rpm I have put it through.

If you have some real info that states it not worth a penny then by all means lets here it.

Other than that good post.
