no flush needs to be done, just change your oil filter.

With any high quality synthetic that contains the appropiate detergents levels, there is no need to flush.

Vital information...

This is very critical for user of this turbos. I consider it's something not to be missed from the manufacturer to any new buyer/user.

Thanks all for this thread, it's going to help extend the fp turbo's service life.

Oh well, my last change was M1 0-40w on my DD Black.


To confirm, What are the minimum acceptable numbers for Phos /ZDDP?

This really baffles me... I just don't understand... Aftermarket Turbo's failing. Why do we not see OEM turbo failing?? You never hear about a stock turbo failing... If you did companys "mitsubishi" would never built turbo cars in the first place... They must be reliable... and all oem turbo's are... I jsut don't understand what makes them differant than FP, Turbonetics, Garrett...ect..ect.
