I keep hearing everyone saying that as long as theirs oil in the supercharger.. it'll be ok.. my question is.. how do you check it ?? Does it use motor oil ?? How would you check it if its at a dealership.. I'm looking at purchasing a 97 Bonneville SSEI, but had a bad encounter with a 96 SSEI at another dealership.. it felt like the supercharger was boosting only in burst... so obviously I'm not going with the 96. Quick question also... what would be the price range for a 96 and 97 SSEI in Canada ??

Unscrew the cap from the fill hole on the supercharger. You'll need an Allen wrench too, about 4mm in size. The oil should be even with the bottom threads. It uses special oil, GM Part # 12345982 I believe. Total capacity is 8oz.

Hello drifter,Im paulnold new to the club about a week,I have just puchased a 1997ssei 111235 k'* on it for$ 11999 from a dealer,the car is mint purs like a kitten all it needed was pads and shoues and the dealer took care of that .I see that you live in ontario .I did a search in autotrader.ca and found several 1996-98 ssei in the toronto area.Not sure where you live in ontario but toronto is the place to look ,Hoped this help .cya

He posted that back in June

He'* got a mighty fine SSEi now!

A couple of additional things:

Don't unscrew the plug while the oil is hot! It will splatter out in your face. My plug comes off using a 3/16 hex head wrench. Be very careful (esp. if someone else'* car) because the hex hole becomes stripped very easily, then the plug is very difficult to remove. When you put the plug back in you must torque it properly, otherwise it will be very difficult to remove.

Give me a break ,I Just got here a week ago.me=---->(rookie)

Oh, just havin some fun. No sweat! Maybe he wants ANOTHER!

You can never have enough a good thing... Bonnevilles and Hippie pills.. ha ha ha..

Thanx for checkin Autotrader though Paul... cool man..

Watch out for Will... all them wrinkles he got ain't from age.. it'* from him sticking his head out the window like a dog with a grin on his face while he'* flying around town at 140 mph.. ha ha ha..

Next Bonneville... 2005 GXP.. 4.4L V8 RWD... ...mmm....can't wait.... in gun metal grey or black... and I"ll call her "Fried *. Ricer " ( the * stands for Some.. so her full name would be fried some ricer... bwahahahaha )

Cool,next time il try to read the post dates lol,btw can you please keep this on the downlow.I just got my bonne and bought some cool blues and had no idea how to switch bulb'* :? ,wondering if you can help me out .

There'* 2 large thumbscrews on top of each headlamp assembly. Just unscrew them, lift up and out. You can get the bulbs easy on these. It won't screw up your aim!

I have cool blues, but I'm thinking of switching to silver stars. Anybody ever have the chance to compare the 2?
