Default radix oil change??

after 3 years and more than 40,000KM i decide to change the oil in the radix when i removed it the smell is like dead fish..

do you think the Rang Rover supercharger uses the same oil???? i want to buy it tomorrow




also here is a tip if you have this problem.... there was a little play about 1/2 inch when turning the pulley from side to side on my truck it sounded like the rotors are banging together but its not the rotors its the three pins on the charger side banging with the plastic on the cover side see pic to understand..so when i removed the front you can see the spring on the front and the pins on the charger side all i did was reinstall the front cover with one of the pins on the other side of that spring now there is no play when turning the pulley left to right...ill see when i start the truck is that solved the problem

The best thing to do is run out to your local GM dealership and ask for a 4oz bottle of oil for superchargers. The oil they sell for "their" supercharged vehicle's is the same oil we use here. DO NOT use more than 4oz. (150ml).

12345982 Is The Gm Part Number... Excellent Oil

I Used That On One Of The Original Magnacharger Kits Which Is Still Running To This Day On My 98 K1500
