Eaton Oil Change?

[Mack45]

Just wondering how often you should change the Eaton Oil with a 2.95 RR upper? I have around 30K mi. so no rush!!!

dunno but buy GM supercharger oil it's the same stuff and alot cheaper. Get it from a chevy dealer.

It's generally recommended that if your pullied, you should change it every 15,000 miles. I change mine every spring before racing season so for me it's about every 6,500 miles.

my eaton is due for an oil change....thinking this weekend

I just did mine this weekend. I paid $12 bucks for a bottle from the GM dealer here in town. Just go to the parts counter and ask for supercharger oil. Comes in a little 4oz black bottle.

Ummm...idk about changing it that often. The stock blower oil should be good for 100k miles. Of course, you may want to change it before then or with a pulley swap but the stuff lasts awhile. I changed mine at 57K and it looked fine, and smelt like a bag of assholes. lol

Well, my blower speed will "occasionally" hit 20,000 RPM which tends to produce just a little more heat than the factory boost setup, (13,500+/- RPM). I tend to think this will have a little more affect on the Eaton's lubrication system.

Might seem like a lame question, but how do you change the Eaton oil?

Thank you very much. that is a huge help.

And San Diego is my old stomping grounds. Thanks again!

Coincidentally, I removed my Eaton tonight and went ahead and drained out the old oil the easy way. Looked fine. But the new stuff will look even finer!!

And many of us use Mobil 1 10w-30. Me included. Works great.

Make sure you wear a face shield when you pull the plug so that the hot oil does not spray in your eyes! Seriously, this is a significant danger.

I'm using GM Supercharger Fluid, 2.93/4lb and I need to change mine after 5000 miles or so. The heat generated causes the oil in my supercharger to vaporize. When I crack open the fill plug, vapor escapes with a hiss you can hear. I never drain close to the 6 oz. that goes back in. It doesn't leak, it burns. Change it often.

Thanks guys for the help. I think I may wander over to GM and see about buying some oil for it. Thinking about painting the blower too? ANy ideas of paint I should use?
