A turbocharger assembly ( 100 ) includes an insert ( 200 ) having an outer axially extending lip ( 204 ) and an inner axially extending lip ( 208 ). The outer lip ( 204 ) is radially spaced from the inner lip ( 208 ), and the inner lip ( 208 ) has a radially outwardly extending tip ( 212 ). The inner lip ( 208 ) can define an annular drainage channel ( 216 ). The insert ( 200 ) is positioned in the turbocharger assembly ( 100 ) so as to engage a thrust collar ( 124 ) and a thrust bearing ( 140 ). The insert ( 200 ), the thrust collar ( 124 ) and the thrust bearing ( 140 ) can cooperatively define an oil collection chamber ( 240 ). The oil collection chamber ( 240 ) is in fluid communication with an oil release interface defined between the thrust collar ( 124 ) and the thrust bearing ( 140 ). Pressurized oil discharged from the oil release interface is centrifugally propelled toward a radially outer region of the oil collection chamber ( 240 ) and can gravitationally collect in the drainage channel ( 216 ), which can direct the oil out of the turbocharger assembly ( 100 ).
