sc oil check qustion

[1999_pontiac_ssei]

if been lookin on here and i can seem to find this ... but how do u check the sc oil how often should it be check and what is a safe lvl for it to be at?

[J Wikoff]

To check the oil, remove the oil plug on the nosedrive. The level should be at the bottom of the threads (after it has sat for a little while and the oil has settled out of the gears).

I check once or twice a year.

plugs on the nose drive ... got a pic showing this (i did not know there were any plugs )

Where the nosedrive (nosedrive is the cone where the pulley comes out on the s/c) meets the casing, towards the front of the motor, there will be a round, 5/8" or so plug that has an allen spot in it that you turn out with an allen wrench (hex). The oil should be to the bottom of the threads. GM says it should be changed every 100,000 miles.

thanks ... ill be checkin that tommro then ...and i take it like engine oil it has to be on a flat surface to get a proper reading right

Should be on as level of a surface as possible. If you're parked on the street you should be fine. Just so you know, it smells terrible. It's made out of animal fats, and now that they've been cooked by your hot engine, they smell really bad. If you do decide to change it, don't let it near your dog (if you have one). Like mine, it'll chew the bottle up and spill it all over your sidewalk...

It should be reinforced, use ONLY GM supercharger oil, or the same stuff from one of our vendors. NOTHING else.

What's the supercharger oil worth over there ?

Tried GM today, and it's $49 for 120ml bottle...and I need 2 of them.

Probably worth your money to buy it here and have it shipped...

[Shannoww]

Looked good until I got to $50 shipping.
Thanks 'though

I dont know what they would charge for shipping, but I would try intense.

I forget where you are from. Ukraine was it?

[J Wikoff]

He's in Australia.

Try Rolling Performance?

[Shannoww]

Did a bit of scouting around and got some GM bottles from ZZ Performance...they offered a range of postal options (like a dozen), ranging from $11 to $72.

Having that sort of problem for a lot of stuff. $20 bottle of Rejex, $50 shipping etc.

Wes, I'm in Australia. 80 miles west of Sydney, and 40 miles east of Bathurst.

[Shannoww]

3 bottles delivered from ZZ Performance yesterday for the same price as 1 bottle from the local dealer.

Very well packaged.

Good work.
