Turbo Oil Drain Gasket Orientation - O-Ring Toward Drain Pipe

Turbointermediate✓ Community Verified

Problem

When installing the turbo oil drain pipe gasket on the 7MGTE, the TSRM does not specify which direction the o-ring side of the gasket should face, causing confusion during installation.

Uncertainty about turbo oil drain gasket orientationNo clear guidance in TSRM for gasket directionPotential for oil leaks if installed incorrectly

Root Cause

The turbo oil drain gasket has an o-ring on one side and a flat surface on the other, but the factory service manual does not indicate the correct orientation.
