    This is from Eaton's website:

    Q: How often do I need to change the oil in my supercharger?
    A: The sealed oil reservoir in a supercharger is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Changing the oil is not recommended unless you suspect contamination, leakage, or other issues like bearing failure. Also, if your vehicle has an abnormally heavy duty cycle, such as racing or towing, you could consider changing the oil at regular intervals such as 20k, 30k, 50k, or 100k miles depending on usage.

    That being said, I disagree and would change SC oil maybe every 60-80k miles under normal use.

    it says to CHECK the fluid level at 30 000 miles.

    Change it every year if you've got a smaller pulley on it.

    Every 2-3 should be fine for a daily driver.

    Unless you put engine oil in, then you should change it when you change your engine oil.
