Proper oiling is critical to protecting your turbocharger investment, yet the factory oiling system on 2001–2016 GM 6.6L Duramax engines presents a significant vulnerability. Stock setups route oil to the turbo directly from the #4 cam journal bearing. Because this passage is inherently restrictive, any movement or slipping of the cam bearing can severely restrict or completely cut off oil flow to the turbocharger, leading to catastrophic bearing failure. The Fleece FPE-DTFL-0116 Remote Turbocharger Oil Feed Line Kit resolves this design flaw by bypassing the cam journal altogether and sourcing clean, pressurized oil directly from the main engine oil galley rifle on the block, ensuring continuous, reliable lubrication to safeguard against premature wear.
Engineered Direct Supply: Includes an oil galley rifle fitting to feed the turbo directly from the engine block rather than a restrictive bearing passage.
Premium Plumbing: Built with an extra flexible, smooth-bore PTFE hose that handles high thermal and mechanical stress while optimizing fluid flow.
Complete Hardware Pack: Features high-quality -AN fittings, a banjo bolt with copper sealing washers, and both 12mm and 16mm feed plugs to seal off the factory feed port cleanly.
Broad Engine Compatibility: Fits 2001–2016 GM 6.6L Duramax diesel applications, simplifying turbo upgrade and replacement installations.
Manufacturer Protection: Backed by a 1-year limited parts warranty for dependable peace of mind.
Upgrading your oil routing during a turbo replacement or rebuild is one of the most effective ways to ensure long-term durability and peak engine performance. By eliminating the risk of oil starvation associated with the factory supply route, this remote oil feed kit delivers a simple, reliable solution that simplifies installation while defending your turbocharger against preventable failures.
