Detailed Description
Rotomaster K1042240N is a turbocharger oil return line engineered for vehicles that rely on clean, unrestricted oil drainage to protect turbocharger operation. Over time, heat can cause deposits to build inside turbo oil lines, restricting flow and contributing to turbo wear. This steel return line is built as a standard replacement part with a specific fit and OE-style dimensions for service on 2012-2021 GM turbo applications. It is a practical replacement when servicing a turbocharger on a Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Sonic, Buick Encore, or Chevrolet Trax.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 55587854, N104240L) for the same application. The Rotomaster K1042240N is intended for return-side turbocharger oil routing and includes gasket(s) to support a proper seal at installation.
