NO, no you cant. lol supercharger oil is high speed turbine oil, designed to work in a sealed case. You absolutely CANNOT use regular motor oil.

 

There was a TSB from GM released on the subject.

 

Show me the TSB, because motor oil is not a substitute for supercharger oil. Never was, never will be. That's a sure fire way to ruin the gears and bearings in the supercharger.

 

jesus christ your not even joking, thats a real thing

 

I know it's real that's why I posted it.

I'd still stick with the dedicated s/c oil if at all possible.

 

my mind is ****** blown over that, I dont even know why they would do that, motor oil isnt even remotely compatible with a supercharger, its not even made from the same base stock, SC oil ester oil. GM brand supercharger oil isnt 5w30 mobil 1, its NYE 605 lol

 

Jet engine oil

 

I know it is, hence turbine oil, which is exactly the reason I said that, mobil 1 5w30 is motor oil, not jet engine oil. lmao

Whatever this procedure is for its not for cobalt's however.

 

I also find it interesting they list two different oils based on what dealer the car is at....

 

I wouldn't trust them.

 

Lol the mysteries of the M62 explored!!

Yeah, I'd stick with the actual blower oil as well.

I just so happen to have a spare bottle the next time I decide to mess with the H62.
