supercharger oil

I took my car to the Pontiac dealer today and wanted my supercharger oil changed and they told me they don't recommend doing that unless you're changing the supercharger all together. Does that sound right because the book says to change it everu 30,000 miles...

I've heard of dealership mechanics saying that but I'm following the owners manual. I'd bet that if your supercharger failed due to lack of lubrication they wouldn't honor your warranty.

Called dealer not too long ago. Asked for price. Said $50.00. Felt, that's cool. Don't want to get my hands dirty.

Fifty bucks!?!?!?!? I'll change it for you next time I come down for a visit.

Are you moving to Key West? You live in MO and I live in FL. And you want me to come down? Cass I thought you could talk the St. Louis Club into coming down here to do some racing in Jan. It will be in the upper 60 to 70. And NO RAIN.

You should definitely change your S/C oil every 30,000 mi or 36 months. It's a 10 min job tops. Use an old hand soap pump (rinsed out) and suck out as much old oil as you can. For the love of god, don't get any of the used oil on your hands! Refill with approx 8 oz (2 bottles) of new GM S/C oil (part #12345982). Fill until you see oil at the base of the filler hole threads and seal her back up.

Find it's faster and less mess. Use a waterbed pump. Pump right into old milk jug. Or if your a redneck, right on the ground.

Actually.........a redneck will drain onto the Walmart parking lot and then refill the SC with Sam's Choice vegetable oil.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are...

I bought an empty spray bottle (like a window cleaner size) for .89 and put a piece of vacuum hose on the end (another .50 if you cant find a piece hanging around at your local parts store) and sprayed it right into the empty bottle. Real simple cost $11 including two bottles of oil from GM.

Can you get the SC oil at Autozone or Napa?

No. You can get it at any GM dealer or order from www.pfyc.com.

I went to the Bob Brockland Pontiac in Cahokia Illinois and asked them if it needed change at a certain mileage and if so what the charge would be. The said after 80K miles and said that they had to remove the supercharger to get all the fluid out. They stressed the importance of removing the supercharger. The price was outrageous! needless to say I didn't have it done. I plan on doing it myself.

Man, get yourself some earplugs for the process. Put them in your nose. That stuff is FOUL.
