Hey guys...just wondering if the supercharger oil is the same as gear oil that you can by at walmart...it smells and looks the same to me...tell me what u guys think...cause it would be alot cheeper that way then buying it from the dealer.

 

The S/C oil never needs to be replaced, it's self contained. Did you take apart your S/C?

 

it needs to be changed after 100,000 miles...at least that's what eaton says...

 

did you get the new snout and take the blower apart?

honestly i would get the oil from the dealer

 

Ditto. Paying extra for the S/C oil from the dealer or Intense is still less than it would cost to get the S/C rebuilt or replaced.

 

yeah i went to the dealer and there dumb asses say that they dont even know what that is...and its not in there system...WTF can i use insted?

 

I know, Its not like you need 5gals or something. You paid over 20 grand for your car, you can at least put the right oil in your supercharger.

I hate it when people are so cheap on simple things like that.
