supercharger oil?

just wondering here, im still learning about these engines and my friend told me to get the dealer to change the supercharger oil when i get the oil changed, so i asked the dealer the other day, they said the blower uses the oil from the engine, doesnt seem right to me, anyone got a answer for me? i dont want the dealer screwing me if they know they're wrong

The supercharger uses its own oil. its not pumped by the engine

its not hard to change, but its usually only recommended at 100k+ miles.

I changed mine when I changed my supercharger coupler. it was easy.

its up to you, some do it to keep the blower's longevity. Its not hard and pretty cheap. ZZP Sells the oil.
