#12345982 Is the PN for the Supercharger oil. It won't be low, unless you have a leak, you will change it because it'* dirty. For you Kobrak, you will need 2 bottles.

The only way to know if it'* low is to open up the fill plug (I can't remember the size of the allen wrench that fits though).

1) Open fill plug
2) Pump out old oil - I use the top of a spray bottle like Billboost37 as well.
3) Add new oil up to the bottom thread of the fill hole.
4) Reinstall fill plug


SUPER easy to do

part number_12345982
I used a plastic syringe..I obtained this syringe at a night club. It had a shot of liquor in it, I kept it as a souvenir..Never thought I would use it for pumping out SC oil but, it worked great..I just put a hose from a fish tank at the end of the syringe to make it longer..It sucked out about 7 ounces of the dirty oil in about 5 tries..The syringe is part of my tools now.

hmmm, I think I should probably do it to both of my SSEi'*...

the '93 has MAYBE 15K miles on it since a brand new supercharger, and I don't know if the oil has ever been changed on the '03 :?

Moved to Forced Induction (where all supercharger related topics belong).

Supercharger oil changes are covered in Techinfo. Link at the top of the page.
