alright at 190k the new bonne is due for a good tune up. oil,air filter etc etc. I'm also looking to change the supercharger oil. (last time it probably was changed I was playing with pogs while watching power rangers) anyway I did some searching and I'm trying to figure out if these superchargers really need supercharger oil or will some regular motor oil work? yes i read the write up |

IMO why take the risk? Just spend the $8 for the supercharger oil. Edit: By the way POGS = da bomb......in like 1992 |

I would definitely use the recommended oil. The viscosity of the SC oil is different than standard motor oil. Here is a link to the overall process if you need it... http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... =56&t=1690 |

Plus it's made with special materials for use in that application. IIRC, S1's only need 1-4oz bottle from the dealer. |

Just out of curiosity, does Eaton have a recommended substitute (i.e. the same basic additives as what GM sells for SC oil?) Just thinking of what might happen a few years down the road when the "new" GM doesn't have it available at the parts counter. |

Not worth it IMHO. You should be able to get the correct oil from anyone who deals with Eaton blowers. |

I know of two instances where people cooked their blowers using motor oil. It made a nasty mess. One is a member here. Use the proper oil. |

I just removed the old, dirty oil...flushed it....and now have brand new oil in! Sounds a little better and boost also is more responsive, but that may be because I removed a birds nest in my intake also PS, oil is a little over $10 here in SC...I get it for 7$ with tax (if your local, Charleston SC) lmk ill get you some too... |
