super charger Maintenance

Post by fun2drive »

This car is the first on I have owned with a super charger. I imagine there is some maintenance that goes with it. A couple of questions. First how often do I need to check the oil in the charger? Second how often should it be changed? Are there any oils that are better then others for changing or all about the same? Any other hints that a "ignorant" super charger person should know?

Click the red link in my signature. It should answer all your questions. There are no alternatives for oil. Either GM Supercharger oil from online or the dealer, or the same stuff from ZZP or INTENSE.

Use the wrong oil, lose your supercharger.
