[QUOTE="cobracide, post: 10606321, member: 4644"] There have been no reported issues that i can recall with anyone using motor oil in their Eaton. A 5- w50 grade full synthetic would be a good alternative to the nye spec most likely. btw - the nye spec is jet engine grade oil. Here are the supercharger manufacturers.. Eaton [url=http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/ProductsServices/PerformanceProducts/Products/Superchargers/FAQ/]FAQ for Superchargers[/url] Q: How often do I need to change the oil in my supercharger? A: The sealed oil reservoir in a supercharger is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Changing the oil is not recommended unless you suspect contamination, leakage, or other issues like bearing failure. Also, if your vehicle has an abnormally heavy duty cycle, such as racing or towing, you could consider changing the oil at regular intervals such as 20k, 30k, 50k, or 100k miles depending on usage. Q: I’ve decided I need to change the oil in my supercharger. How do I do this? A: If you do want to change the oil there is one fill/drain plug on the front face of the front cover. It will probably be an Allen type plug. You will have to suction out the oil using a syringe or other method before replacing with new oil. Fill levels are dependent on application. For aftermarket units, please consult the aftermarket partner company that produced that specific kit. For OEM units, please see the list below or email [email]infosupercharger@eaton.com[/email].

Kenne Bell: [url]http://www.kennebell.net/techinfo/general-info/SuperchargerOil.pdf[/url] Do not use just “any oil” in the Kenne Bell supercharger.
