With my new turbocharger, there was a large note included, advising that before starting the engine, it should be cranked for at least 20 seconds using only the starter motor, in order to fill the oil lines with oil, otherwise, serious damage to the turbocharger is to be expected. Since that is not possible during operation, there must be a provision to prevent the lines from running empty, even when the vehicle is parked at an angle (e.g., a check valve?).

Yes, that makes some sense... Does anyone know any more details about such an "oil reservoir device" in our engines?
