Supercharger Maintenance

by **SC V6** » Sun Feb 08, 2004 9:37 pm

I was wondering what all should be done to the supercharger after a while. I know that replacing the nose and oil inside of the supercharger is a good idea. Does anyone know where to order these parts? Or what service should be done to the supercharger or when?

who's this gadget person?

theoretically the s/c is maintenance free. but who takes that chance right?

100K miles on the s/c would the mark where i have heard is an ideal time to vaccum and refill the fluids.

i believe GM has a fluid out, i forgot where... i'll dig up info next week.

You need to call them. The number is on their site. They sell the oil change kit for $15 and the remanufactured nose unit for $360 which includes a refundable $50 core charge. BTW, the guy at Magnuson said the oil is the same stuff GM uses for the Pontiac SC and you can get it from them. You will need 4 ounces. The sealant is Loctite 510 which is a flange sealer and requires no gasket. IMO I think it's easier to just get it from Magnuson.

Good Luck
