FAQ – CUMMINS 5264568 TURBO OIL DRAIN GASKET
WILL THIS GASKET FIT MY RAM 5.9L OR 6.7L CUMMINS?In most cases, yes. The Cummins 5264568 turbo oil drain gasket is used across many 2003–2018 Ram 2500/3500/4500/5500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L or 6.7L Cummins ISB. Because Cummins used multiple turbo and drain configurations over the years, we always recommend verifying by engine serial number (ESN) or original part number before ordering.
DO I NEED TO REPLACE THIS GASKET EVERY TIME I REMOVE THE TURBO?
Yes. Any time the turbocharger or oil drain tube is removed, Cummins and most professional installers recommend replacing the drain gasket. Reusing a compressed gasket increases the risk of oil seepage and repeat labor.
WHERE DOES THE 5264568 GASKET INSTALL?
This gasket sits between the turbocharger’s oil drain outlet (flange) and the oil drain tube or drain adapter. It does not go at the block or oil pan – it specifically seals the turbo oil return connection.
DO I NEED SEALANT WITH THIS GASKET?
In most applications, no extra sealant is required. Install the mating surfaces clean and dry unless your Cummins service manual specifies a particular sealant. Overuse of silicone can cause contamination in the turbo and oil system.
IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART OR AFTERMARKET?
This listing is for a genuine Cummins OEM 5264568 turbo oil drain gasket sourced through Cummins channels, not an aftermarket or private-label substitute.
