Well I live like a mile away from ZZP in Grandville, Michigan and they sell some GM Supercharger oil. I asked about it and they said it will make my car run more efficient and could increase my gas mileage. Could this be true.

how many miles are on the car? is it driven hard? if you have more thatn 30k miles, i would say go ahead and change it. if the oil in your blower is foul. for whatever reason, that would make the system more difficult to spin, and i could see fuel economy issues. have them take a look at it and if they feel it needs to be changed, let them take care of it.

I changed my SC oil at about 75k, and it was pretty dirty. Definitely can't hurt!
