The supercharger oil is good for about 100K. Check it at 60K if it looks good, keep er goin.

gees they say to change the whipple oil every 30,000? i think. Well, I know it is more often than 100K dang

If you run a smaller pulley, those 100k miles might show up sooner than you think though b/c it's spinning it more.

I change mine every 6,000 miles -don't know why, other than I have it off so often to check rockers and springs I might as well change the oil

You should change the oil once a year if you run it hard very much.

If you look at the compressor, you'll see a allen headed drain plug on the lower left (looking from the front) SIDE-slightly hidden by the intake tube.
Remove the tube and drain the oil, or get a turkey baster and take it out form the allen headed screw on top of the unit.

Replace with 20-50 oil-don't overfill, as it does'nt take much.

This applies to a whipple setup.
