Automotive turbo oil fill and drain tubes are a vital connection between the turbo and the oil lubrication system. Due to extreme heat, thermal expansion must be controlled to protect the turbo housing. The typical auto engine compartment is a very hot and corrosive environment. The thermal expansion differences between the turbo and a short rigid pipe causes excessive loading against the turbo housing. The use rubber hose is limited by temperature, adds assembly labour, and creates possible leak paths.

Senior has developed turbo oil tube solutions, utilising our thin-wall, flexible metal tubing technology, that address engine vibration and thermal dynamics issues to ensure total system durability while aiding in assembly. A large variety of end configurations is available to reduce assembly time and reduce the number of components. Our unique ability to manufacture a simple one-piece design can also reduce the number of joints that are often prone to failures with many other designs.
