john99gtp Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 If you have a supercharger (L67) is it cooled by oil? If it is, does this mean you have to change your oil more often? Or is it ok? Do you have to use special oil? questions questions questions, sorry John Quote
god910 Posted May 9, 2004 Report Posted May 9, 2004 They have their own oil inside the s/c. It must be changed but I don't remember the interval. It's also superspecailhighteck oil. And oh yeah, people forget to have it changed ALOT. Quote
White93z34 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 hmm that may explain the recent L67 engine fires. Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 hmm that may explain the recent L67 engine fires. recent?!?! You mean, since its enception Quote
LukeZ34 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 I think the change interval is every 30k miles.. but don't hold me to that. Quote
sl3196 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 And it smells horrible! Need to change mine. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Yeah.. I was around at a dealership when they were changing Supercharger oil.. holy SHIT that stuff is hard to stand. I was gagging the entire time. Quote
god910 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 I think the change interval is every 30k miles.. but don't hold me to that. That's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. LUKE, DRAGSTRIP, NOW!!!!!! Quote
john99gtp Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Posted May 12, 2004 I think the change interval is every 30k miles.. but don't hold me to that. on that note, about how much does this cost? I just picked the GTP up tonite, and wanna change that and tranny, just in case. wanna be nice and safe John Quote
sl3196 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Just go buy 2 bottles of supercharger oil and get a turkey baster and a small hose to attach to it. Take out the supercharger drain plug (on top pass. side by the pulley) Its a black hex bolt. Remove it and suck out all you can with the turkey baster. When empty refill with new stuff until you reach the bottom of the threads. Don't Overfill!!! http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=13 Quote
john99gtp Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Posted May 12, 2004 and i get this handy dandy supercharger oil where? at the stealership? John Quote
LukeZ34 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 LUKE, DRAGSTRIP, NOW!!!!!! The weekend of July 9th is my time to shine at the track (at the KCCGP Summer showdown). Quote
mfewtrail Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Yup its pretty cheap. It was $13.95 w/ tax(in GA) for the needed 8oz of oil back in late December 03(last time I purchased sc oil). I thought I replied here last night, but I guess I didn't? EDIT: btw, what the hell is a "qeustion?" Quote
mfewtrail Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Damn more than I thought it would be. It's not that bad...cheaper then an engine oil change for my GTP(Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic and AC Delco PF52 filter) anyways. and doesn't have to be done as frequent as engine oil. Quote
excelsior Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 i know for a fact it needs an oil change every once in a while.....it is an often overlooked cause for supercharged cars destruction Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 Damn more than I thought it would be. It's not that bad...cheaper then an engine oil change for my GTP(Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic and AC Delco PF52 filter) anyways. and doesn't have to be done as frequent as engine oil. that's still a lot for oil Quote
