It's what keeps the supercharger alive!Spider said:what is supercharger fluid ?
Changed? Why would you need to change synthetic oil in a closed system? Checking every 30K yes, but change?91supacoop said:supercharger oil chould be checked/changed every 30K miles....i guess it depends on when the previous owner did it.

Go to your closest airport & see if some mechanic will sell you a Liter of BP 2380. It's light purple.

The benefit is that it's MUCH cheaper ($9.00/Qt.), than the stuff that Ford sells. It isn't necessarily a "benefit", but it also exceeds the specs. of the Ford/Eaton oil.bubbaflaat said:My question is what is the benifit to using this turbine oil? And how do you drain the old oil out of the supercharger.
besides the old fluid stinks to high heaven!
