Provides initial lubrication of new or replaced turbochargers to prevent damage due to oil starvation. Damage to turbocharger may occur within seconds of engine start if not lubricated properly. Pro-Line Turbocharger additive will provide needed protection and allow proper break-in of new units which prevents additional repairs.
* The oil intake passage of the turbocharger is filled to the brim with Pro-Line Turbocharger Additive before the oil supply line is connected. Suitable for all turbochargers. Mixable with all common motor oils.
