I just went to the gm dealership this mournin to get some supercharger oil. They told me that it's all selfcontained??????? I thought I had read that you can fill them?????? Anyone, is this true???????

 

pull the bearings out and squirk some in the sc lol

 

The dealer is slightly retarded...

 

It's a sealed unit, but you can still change it. There's a how-to here about how to do it. Just curious, what size pulley are you running?

 

Yes you can fill them.

There is a drain on the snout where you empty and fill the oil.

Eaton claims the oil should last the life of the blower. No need to really change it unless you sense there is a problem.

 

Yea I thought they was dumbasses. Mexi loco...... I'm runnin a 2.8 pulley. I knew I had seen the how to on here somewhere.

 

I'm assuming changing the oil, will not affect the coupler noises?

 

It sounds like the bearings need lube. I can hear them at idle if I put my ear down to the s/c.

 

Nope ....

If your coupler is getting noisy it may be time to change it.

The rotors make noise at idle to (which is perfectly normal).

Are you sure it's the bearings ?

 

i changed my s/c oil at 55k miles just for peace of mind. now im at 70k and no noises or nothing coming from blower. shes on a 2.7 pulley but has been on a 2.9 since 1000 miles. changed to 2.7 pulley at about 65k miles. changing oil on blower is cake.

 

you might be dumb too. they were not they was

 

they're not wrong altogether. They're just assuming you've done nothing as far as decreasing your pulley size. On a stock or stage II pulley, you won't have to service the eaton until about 100k, but by then I'd either just replace it or consider your other options (like turbo or tvs). With a 2.8" pulley, it won't be incredibly necessary. It's really for those guys that are on 2.5" pullies or less. But if you still want to do it, you'll just need one bottle from GM. 4oz for a wet fill, and 6 oz. for a dry fill.

Not necessarily. I read how many miles you had on another thread, so it most likely is a good thing to change anyway. You have to pull the s/c off when you change its oil anyway, so take a look at the rotors and see their condition. If the coupler is still noise after the oil change, you might as well change out the coupler for a new one. They come pretty cheap anyway, so if it were me, I would just replace it anyway.

 

I am dumb. I dont know everything. But if its suppose to have a noise, then imma leave it alone. I see my drain plug on my snout,thats why I asked them if they was sure it was completely sealed.

I just like to make sure my **** is runnin good and make sure if somethin sounds wrong, I fix it asap.

 

how many miles do you have on your supercharger?

 

Mine makes noise too lol as long as it runs fine IDC what pisses me off is this belt squeek I can't shake

 

53,528

The belt squeek huh. lol

 

I'd say replace the oil if it's for your own peace of mind, but that mileage and pulley size doesn't mandate you NEED to change it.

 

Yea it's basically my peace of mind really.

 

lmao yeah i've replaced the tensioner cause i thought that was it but it came back .
GM rates the oil good for over 100k miles, but it's cheap and easy to do if you really feel like it.

 

^^^mods?

 

say wut. lol.

 

I have the gm stage 2 kit,exhaust, and a tune

 

i was just curious what ur mods are. IDK, you didn't give enough info about ur problem so I'm grasping at straws.

 

O. Thought you was askin me. LOL. Guess I need to find my drug dealer. LOL

 

lmao u crazy haha, what oil should we use if were or they decide to do this?
