Route spent oil cleanly back to the crankcase with the Standard Ignition Turbocharger Drain Tube TIH135. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2018-2021 Ford EcoSport, 2014-2017 Ford Fiesta, and 2015-2018 Ford Focus, restoring the low-pressure oil return path between the turbocharger and the engine's oil sump.
A turbocharger drain tube carries the engine oil that has lubricated and cooled the turbo's center bearing back down to the crankcase under gravity and low pressure — it is a return line, not a pressurized feed line. When the original tube cracks, corrodes, or its connections weaken, oil can seep or back up, so a sound drain path helps keep the turbo draining as intended.
- Function: returns oil from the turbocharger to the engine oil sump.
- Direct-fit replacement for the listed Ford applications.
- Signs it may need replacing: oil weeping at the tube or its connections, oil residue near the turbo drain, or evidence of a restricted return.
If a failed or leaking drain tube is the cause of your oil loss, this replaces it. Diagnose the source of any leak before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a turbocharger drain tube do?
It returns the engine oil that has lubricated and cooled the turbocharger's center bearing back to the oil sump. It is a low-pressure, gravity return line, not a pressurized feed line.
Which vehicles does the TIH135 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2018-2021 Ford EcoSport, 2014-2017 Ford Fiesta, and 2015-2018 Ford Focus. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
What are signs this drain tube may need replacing?
Oil weeping at the tube or its connections, oil residue near the turbo drain, or signs of a restricted oil return. Diagnose the source of any leak before replacing.
What numbers does this part interchange with?
It cross-references ITH150, 2-56150 (256150), and CM5Z6L092A. Its own manufacturer part number is TIH135.
Is this a pressurized oil feed line?
No. A drain tube handles oil returning from the turbo under low pressure and gravity; the pressurized oil feed to the turbo is a separate line.
