came across this while looking something else up:

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show....php?p=2874871

from my understanding, it's not necessary, but definitely won't hurt anything either. I have an SC and just did the home depot version a few weeks ago and there's already a few drops of oil in the bottom of it, so I'm glad I did mine. I was getting tired of cleaning my TB, now I won't have to so often.

While researching this on other forums before deciding to do mine, just about all turbo'd cars see a benefit from doing this, so personally I would do it.

I suggest you take off the intake from the turbo side and take a peek, you'll be surprised how much oil is in there.

Some have had oil - others not so much. Do a search. Also, if there was such a need - you don't think someone would have done it already???
