THANK YOU EBRISTOL! now im off to order the parts...

 

exactly what i was looking for, thanks alot!

 

I've always been told take the blower off, lay it on a table, fill until it dribbles out, as you would the trans.

This is how I will be doing it when I change my coupler in a few days.

 

Horray for useless maintenance.

 

When you do the coupler, you've got no choice.

 

Obviously. Stupid to drain and refill like it's motor oil, though.

 

Not nessecarily, smaller pulley = gears/bearings/rotors, as well as high RPM's = Blower, (And blower internals/components), getting worked harder.

The fluid is going to break down faster than if it was stock with a smaller pulley, or than that if it wasn't driven in extremely high RPM applications, such as racing.

It's cheap any way you look at it, though.. $10 every 100,000 miles.. I think my wallet will be just fine.

 

Drive a little over 300,000 miles and you could buy a share of GM stock with all of that money you saved.

 

epic fail!

 

Not at all. This method puts 3.4oz in there, which is exactly what Eaton says. This is the correct way. There are even pictures in a different thread to prove this.

 

i just got the zzp coupler kit for next spring. im going to replace the coupler and add the entire 6fl oz of ZZP S/C oil like it says on their site.

 

6 oz is toooo much

I was not sure about this. But the amount is correct. I have always just measured it.

 

How many people hit 300,000 miles+?

Supercharger oil change is good, cheap, peice of mind maintenance.

 

just changed my coupler/oil yesterday.. the old oil smelled pretty bad, kinda like burnt popcorn... checked the blower blades and they were kinda dirty and missing a bit of teflon and the housing was dirty as hell inside too.. cleaned everything up really good, greased the shafts, put new gaskets and the car seems to boost more/faster.. before the change, the most i would see was 10 psi and now its getting to 12 like when it was new

 

dam that hasnt happend to me lol. my coupler is worn and rattling sometimes but im still boostin the norm 12psi.

 

maybe the altitude difference is going into play.. i live 400 feet below sea level
