is this the right amount?

or is this?

 

it only gets 100ml (3.4oz) of oil from the factory... thats all it needs for 150,000 miles with no oil changes..

DO NOT FILL UP TO THE HOLE (this leads to very bad things)

this type of misinformation is why i tell everyone to leave it alone!!!!!!

If you recovered 3oz, that is exactly correct, you did not loose any oil

 

TVS_SS knows what he's talking about people. I'd listen if I were you.

Oh... and TVS_SS, I think I have a friend with a Silver, wingless, base model. Lemme check, I'll see if they'll be willing to trade.

 

Thanks for the info. I took out 5oz. once you told me. It seems kinda funny how everyone else on the site tells you to fill it to the top. Thanks for helping out.

 

eh yea dont fill to the hole.... Thats kinda dumb.

the SC isnt THAT temperamental on oil evidently. Im almost at the 10,000 mile mark and still have 6 oz in there.

So,

B.S. to anyone who says more than 3 oz will destroy our SC and make it do evil crap.

 

lol.. ok but you dont road race your car or even give the SC a workout then..

you dont have to take my word for it... but i have a feeling that you are basing your whole opinion on a statistical sample population of 1...

 

and how many people are going in to the problems section of this forum complaining their oil is blowing everywhere due to overfill? Also for the past 3 months i have been driving the **** out of my car reaching IAT2s of 180+.

1 is better than 0 btw

 

ok, it is your car afterall.. you can put 5 gallons in it.

I'll just say there is a reason it has a certain oil level from the factory.. and its from alot more than 1 unit tests...

but what do i know.. oh well.

 

whoa... hold up

im not saying your full of **** because i know your not....

but 3oz vs 6 isnt blowing gaskets. I dont think it is as sensitive as some proclaim. Ill keep it in there until it blows up... then im getting a tvs.

 

This cracks me up, show me 1 document from GMs "Service Information" that gives you a service intervale, part # of the proper oil or procedure for changing it. There are none. That oil part# if for the older 3.8l superchargers, the m62 we have is filled with a synthetic. Eaton doesn't even recommend changing it, as well as GM, hmmm. Also to fill it to the proper level you need to remove the SC and lay it flat on the bench, then fill it to the bottom of the hole, this will be around 3oz, just FYI.

 

i agree with njbluess. I have an 05 arrival ss supercharged ( not a stage 2) ( well from what people tell me and from what i no) with 37,000 miles on it, bone stock, and it runs stong as **** (besides my clutch starting to slip.). the person who had this car before me did something i have no clue what, but i raced stock ss/sc and smoked them by like 2 or more cars. i also raced stage 2's with modes and beat them 2 times. from a light. if anyone can tell me whats up with my car please do so, cuz i want to no.

these are the other cars i beat to.(a 94 v8 mustang gt supercharges with some cobra parts.) (2.2L turbo mx6 with mods) (93 or 94 civic hatch eg with fully built all motor h22, suspention and other ****.) (an 06 sti, from a light to like 125 mph, by 1 car. i think he was a bad driver.) and other cars cant remember at the time.
I would get it dynod but i whant to get a new clutch first and some mods on.

 

I've a 2.7 pulley for like 3000 miles when do i have to change the oil..from the S/C?

 

i took out just as much as u and almost put in about 3/4 a bottle

 

im just gonna say put in as much as u took out

 

I e-mailed eaton supercharger info and they told me 3.4-3.5oz. I am going to stick to this; many of you have put 6 oz. in and maybe its working fine for you and thats great, but the rep told me 3.4oz. so thats what i'll put in.

 

I agree with this...

 

Eaton told me to service the oil in the charger every 15k miles.

 

where did you get the pump?

thanks for the how-to

 

Hey, so I was just reading through this thread and I wanted to comment on a few random things (sorry). First, kawategra98, you're right. a ton of places recommend you change your s/c oil at around 40k miles once you're pulling higher hp. Its not a huge deal. Once you start working you blower harder you'll find that your coupler will go out (that's what that rattling noise is at an idle). You need to pull the snout off to replace that, which means changing the oil. Just sayin....

 

i think my coupler might have gone out then.. the oil change thing came on, i opened the hood and it sounds like the sc is making a slight grinding noise.. my car is at 60k so i think i might need to fix this and change the oil... where do u get the coupler at?

 

my s/c also makes that noise. my car is at 50k miles. i know the S/C was replaced on my car by the previous owner because it was done by the dealership i bought it from. i bought it at 44k miles. easiest way to fix/replace that coupler?

 

any help with the coupler question?

 

im doing my coupler next spring. im buying the aftermarket coupler kit from ZZP's site. green coupler, with the zzp oil. heres the link . screw the transfer pump. im replacing the coupler. have to remove the snout so doin an oil change aswell. everythig in one shot.

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

anyone have any picutres on how to change the coupler. just lookin for some type of an idea what im geting myself into. im sure ill be able to replace it no problem. but any help would be much appreciated.

BUMP
