Abstract
A turbocharger includes a tubular floating bearing inserted into a bearing housing and a shaft inserted into the floating bearing. An annular slinger is arranged on an outer circumferential surface of at least one of opposite axial ends of the shaft, which protrudes from the float bearing. The bearing housing defines an oil discharge space surrounding the slinger externally in a radial direction. The bearing housing includes a guide wall protruding from an inner wall surface of the oil discharge space. The guide wall is configured to guide oil in the oil discharge space toward the oil discharge port.
