[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 12423173, member: 11681"] The reason Eaton recommends NOT using a conventional or synthetic oil in the blowers is because the GM/Ford/ Eaton supercharger "oil" is a glycol based high temp lube. Look at the MSDS sheet. It is a PAG oil. Glycol based oils/lubes are generally not compatible or misible with hydrocarbon oils. They do not mix. Residual amounts of the original fluid can be a problem if they are not completely cleaned/flushed out first before using a hydrocarbon based oil. [url]http://www.dow.com/ucon/osp/pdf/L104_22_DOW_Lube_Tech_v2.PDF[/url] If you have the snout off and can clean it out well with brake clean or something else that will leave no residue you should be ok. Assuming you have selected an appropriate high performance high temperature synthetic oil replacement, that is also the correct viscosity for the application's rpm. [size=3][B]You can also do a simple drain and fill if you do it twice, this will get most of the PAG glycol based lube out. We recommend Royal Purple HPS 5W-30 (part #31530, quart bottle) or Royal Purple XPR 5W-30 (part #01021, quart bottle). These oils are not regular motor oils, they both provide between three and four times the film strength of other oils including the original PAG factory fill Eaton oil, and will live in this high temperature environment.[/B][/size] [/QUOTE]
