It has its own oil...special oil. Instructions are in the manual as to how to check! You make sure you check it before you drive it anywhere else if it is already making noise!

Don't forget the techinfo article which explains step-by-step how to change the front end of the supercharger. Some users here have had problems with leaking supercharger oil after changing the coupler. (I would put the link to the article here, but i'm still learning how to use the tags on here)

Right on track. There'* alot of info here on changing couplers and oil. Some in Techinfo, some in Forced Induction. Moving this one to FI now.
