Default How much supercharger oil?

I'm going to be changing the supercharger oil on my 2004 SS Dale Jr edition. How much oil does it take to refill the supercharger? Thanks.

You are correct sir! 2 bottles and make sure you suck the old oil out first - I used a brake bleeder hooked up to the air compressor - made my own vacuum.

Thanks for the link. Just the answer I needed. I'll try the local chevy dealer tomorrow and see if they have any. they also sold Pontiac so they might have some.

The chevy dealer did have the oil. Boy it sure is expensive. Over $25 for two bottles.

Oh ya, I forgot ZZP sold the oil - that's where I am buying mine next time. I had to find out the hard way that it took almost 2 bottles. The 2nd day I had Sliver I wanted to change the engine oil and the supercharger oil - I have no idea if the previous owner ever changed it. I went to my hick local Chevy dealer and they didn't have a clue how many bottles it took, so the guy said he would talk to a tech. So all he got me was 1 bottle (he had to order it). After we got all the old oil out we put the one bottle in - wasn't enough. Luckily there was a better Chevy dealership that opened at 7am Sat morning - called them - had the oil in stock and rushed over there to get it.
