Supercharger Fluid

[M1GarandGuy]

Not to be a post whore on my first day, but my Lightning has 50k miles on it. When do I need to change the fluid in the blower? Is it fill-to-spill at the little plug on the snout?

Thanks.

I also took mine out at 50K but it was because my IC was leaking.

I refilled it using thin gear oil.

IDK if this is the best way its been 40K since.

Only use ford Super Charger oil or GM Super Charger oil, Either one can be purchased at the dealer

GM supercharger oil is cheaper which is why most people choose that route.

everyone I talked to about Motorcraft SC fluid had no idea what the part # was or that it even existed and it took me 3 calls and a few months from anybody at Ford to figure it out since they didn't have the part #. BOOYA BITCHES! Motorcraft SC oil part #XL-4, over $20 from Ford but can be found at this site for a bit cheaper. Bought it for my Roushcharger. Supposedly it's every 30K miles from companies like procharger but Ford claims lifetime. After the inital SC break in period I'm going to change it and then do it every 30K like my centri setup.

I think Ford recommends every 100k, but if you are over spinning it, do it very 20k.
