Supercharger Maintenance: Introduction

Supercharger gears and ball bearings are lubricated by a synthetic oil. Oil reservoir is self-contained in supercharger and does not rely on engine oil for lubrication. Small amount of oil seepage through front seal of supercharger assembly, behind pulley, is normal. However, if oil is visually dripping or puddling from front seal, supercharger replacement is necessary.
