supercharger oil ?

[PoorSvtman]

Ok I rember reading somewhere on how to change the oil for the supercharger. But i lost the link. If im recall you take the allen screw/plug out and basicly suck all the old fluid out?

Also what oil should i use? how much dose it hold, etc?

I have heard that you can use the same oil as the gm supercharged cars. IF thats the case ill order some threw the cheby dealership i work at.
Anyone know any part numbers etc?

Thanks in advance :beer:

I usually order the GM supercharger lube for Bonneville SSEI or GTP Grand Am. It takes about one and a half little bottles. As for getting it out of there I have never had any luck siphoning it out. Only breaking taking the snout off and draining it out. It is a messy process.

I'll have to look in the manual , either 15 or 30K?

What about using some other brand of synthetic gear oil, like the Royal Purple?

Do you know the gm part number? Im at work so if i had the part number it would be eaiser to order.

I remembered seeing something about this a while back, and thought I'd bring it up. I didn't see it in the manual, I will need to look again. How do you go about changing this stuff? Where's this allen screw at?

This is an old post from last year mang (10-15-2003). It was just brought back from the dead.

By the way the gm part # is 12345982

yeah I brought it back. i remembered seeing it once, and figured it might be time. probab;y need a little more info before I can do it, though. ANyone of yuo guys going to be doing this soon? Maybe I can see what needs to be done, and do mine at the same time. Or i can do it the simple way and take it to Terry. I've only been to see him once, but I've been waiting for the money and time situation to settle down, so I can have him do a little work for me.

So, anyone up for an SC oil changing party, this weekend?

[PoorSvtman]

Im not doing anything saturday. But im not sure ill have my truck back yet either. :(

[skalywags]

hurry up and get it back! I still haven't found where it says to do this either. 15,000 or 30,000. Batter safe than sorry. I have about 18,000 on it now. I would definitley apreciate the help, since I don;t work on mine much, or have the place to do it, yet. (crazy how all my stuff worth less than the L, somehow takes up my one car garage, so the truck ends up outside. I am working on remedying that situation!)

Went to the Supercross today, so I didn't get to try messing with it. Tomorrow, I may look at it, but after going to the SX, I think I may need a little MX fix tomorrow, for a few hours at least.
