Is it true that you need to change the oil or add oil to the supercharger once the car hits 100,000 miles.:banghead: Also, is it exspensive to change the pads and or rotors all around on a 99 regal. Thanks in advance

Yes. You should change the oil in the supercharger. I'm not sure of the interval but as with most fluids in vehicles it's better to change them early then it is to change them late, and I'm sure that the recommended interval is stated in the owners manual. I have a 97 PA Ultra S/C and I just turned 100K. I am going to change the oil too, I just haven't gotten around to it. I've only had my PA for a month and I've had some other things to take care of first. It will take two 4oz. bottles to do one change, assuming the S/Cs are the same. I wouldn't use anything but the recommended fluid, because I wouldn't want to play w/ fire. As for the brakes, if you put good brakes on it, yes, it will be fairly expensive. I do knowthat for my PA, which may be similar, good rotors(Raybestos, Delco, etc) are a bit pricey 60-80 a piece and up, and I'm told to only use OEM pads on it. It might seem like an expensive brake job, but hey, you gotta stop sometime, right?

I do all of my L67 equipped "W" body cars annually. Use GM supercharger oil only, GM p/n: 12345982. Here is a procedure for guidance:

All Series II 3800 engines with supercharger have an Eaton M90 Gen3.
