They there people I was not able to fin another post on this so here it goes.

I was thinking about replacing my supercharger oil seeing that it has never been changed and im at 69K miles, question is whats the name of it and whats the procedure? i have a 04 monte ss

Thanks!
 


Not sure on the exact name. I just went to the dealership and asked them for thier supercharger oil (parts store of a dealership will have it). Not sure on this car (havent changed yet) on the bonnie i opened her up sucked the oil out (can make some interesting devices for this) and replaced with the new SC oil. Not sure if thats 100% correct way to do it though.
 
It's called supercharger oil and yup... that's all ya do.

I like to use an old spray bottle from say windex etc. The tube fits into the charger and you spray out the old into the bottle, cap and toss away.
 
I actually can fit both bottles in there...all 8oz. Don't see the point in buying two bottles when you only use a drop out of the 2nd one. Never hurts to have a little more since it does wear down pretty quick.
 
agreed^^ i actually didnt even top off with 2 bottles... but i did try to pump every last bit of the old stuff out so i may have drained it quite a bit

Hm, interesting. I probably got like 6.5 ounces in before it got to the threads of the hole... and I was parked on a hill with my rear lower. Of course, you have a different supercharger - is the capacity different between the two?
 
Pretty sure they weren't...then again you said you were parked on a hill so it could have messed with the level you saw in the snout.
 
Probably a 5% grade. But... it should have meant I could fit more oil, not less before hitting threads. Maybe it sinks down a bit... guess I should check on that later, now that it's been swishing around in there.
 
when i had my blower off last i put some fresh fluid in there and it took two bottles to fill it.

I paid 4.65 a bottle at the dealer.... and thats the LIST price for the stuff.

Still have the invoice if no one believes me.

gee thanks! i didn't mod it, my Dad did. i just found out i only get between 6-9 degrees of timing at WOT. great huh? it'll be a while before i punch the car again. i tried like hell to convince him to put headers on.
 
just so you know, I drove for about 1000 miles in a week with the supercharger belt off while I was waiting on parts. I didn't have any driveability issues and the gas mileage didn't go up or down that much. So yeah, before you blow up your car, get more mods.
