Oil for a supercharger.
Oil for a supercharger.
(OP)
Hello. I want to ask You about oils for a superchargers (eaton), what type is it, i've found that they're synt, but nothing more like viscosity, special additivs (maybe AW, EP ? ), TAN, oxidation etc. If anyone have got some spec sheets, characteristic of this oils i'll be very thankfull. I think that this expensive oils can be replaced by ATF or synt engine oil, what do You think about it ?

RE: Oil for a supercharger.
I expect one shaft is driven by a belt drive at an extension of that shaft.
The other shaft will be driven by a gear drive between one end of the shafts.
The shafts will be supported by bearings at each.
The drive end with gears should be lubricated with a manual transmission oil.
The bearings at the drive end can be lubricated with the gear oil and the bearings at the other end are probably packed and sealed roller or ball bearings and need no further lubrication.

I'm sure the oil is made to be compatible with O2 sensors (it gets burned) and the seals on the blower.
My son had a TBird SC for 2 yrs and used less than 1/2 the bottle after changing it once. Are you using a lot?
