Supercharger oil.. how often?

**bentendo92** · 08-02-2008

How often do you change your supercharger oil? I know the manual has its own ratings... but if you drive it hard what would you recommend?

50,000 miles

If you have a small pulley on it, I've heard recommnedations of 30k sometimes even 15k if all you do is hammer your car down the track all the time

when you have the stock pulley on it, 40-50K miles is fine.

however, when you have an aftermarket(smaller) pulley on it, you are spinning the blower faster. more heat, and friction will break down the oil quicker.

I had planned on changing my oil every 15-20K miles.....

I had been changing mine every year regardless. But URLOSN has a point about the smaller pullies. Running them is putting added stress on the blower and that would in turn do so to the lubricant and you would need to probably change it out sooner to combat that.

As above depends on your driving style, and pulley size.

I change mine yearly regardless of miles I have a 3.2 on most the time.

I change the GF's yearly regardless of miles and she still has a 3.8

50,000 miles and no more in my opinion for the supercharger oil.

Cheap maintenance to protect your investment.
