I was just wanting to put some oil through my 16g before installing it and have a question. I hooked up a hose to the inlet and had some oil in a funnel, how much oil should pass through? I barely put any in and it hardley dripped out the return hole. I know there's pressure pushing the oil through when it's on the car, but I thought a little more would have flowed though it. It just barely dripped out the return. The hose was then full of oil, so I tried to "blow" the remaining oil out with my mouth (creating pressure), and it still barely dripped out the return. Is there possibly a blockage? Or is it normal? Lemme know. Thanks.

Were you spinning the compressor wheel while trying to get the oil to go through?

is it new or used

If its been dry for a while youre going to have some oil stick to the sides of wherever its running through.

It was used, no shaftplay. I was spinning it slowly with my fingers and the oil wasn't really moving through it all that well. It was dripping out of the return.

If you got oil out the other side, you are probably fine. Put 50 psi on the oil inlet and you will only get a trickle. You blowing into it is like 0.5 psi.

That's what I was kinda thinking, It was just a matter of, "I can't blow hard enough." rofl. Thanks!
