Qeustion about the Superchargers


Recommended Posts

Posted

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

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. :lol: And oh yeah, people forget to have it changed ALOT.

hmm that may explain the recent L67 engine fires.

I think the change interval is every 30k miles.. but don't hold me to that.

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!!!

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? :think:

 

EDIT: btw, what the hell is a "qeustion?" :wink: :lol:

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. :wink: and doesn't have to be done as frequent as engine oil. :D

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
