Default Supercharger Oil?

Is there a prefered brand of supercharger oil? I will just be refilling my factory Eaton when I clean the intercooler. How much does a factory eaton need?

head over to the FORD dealer, the parts dept will have EXACTLY what you need. It is a special oil that is made for the EATON blower.

They are smoking crack, tell them to take a hike, that blower will barely hold the 5 OZ's that are speced for it. Buy the 4 0Z bottle, you will be JUST FINE

If the dealer gives you any ****, tell him to call me....I have worked for EATON/Magnuson for a long time, and have rebuilt more of those blowers than I care to think about.
