Supercharger Oil

Any ideas on when to change the supercharger fluid? I would imagine as with any fluid, it should be flushed at some point.

Is it DIY job, or would a dealer be better off doing it?

I don't know of anyone who has done this. There is no access point that I know of (although it had to get there somehow, right?). I think it's an aerospace oil, and it doesn't get very hot; as a result it does not degrade much if at all.

There are lots more superchargers in use in the C230 forum. They might have some ideas.

The fluid is supposedly there for the life of the supercharger. Then again, some people have reconditioned theirs. I looked into gaskets, etc. that are required for the job - no joy.
I did, however, find two companies that claim to recondition the M112K supercharger (new oil, gaskets, bearings, etc.). When asked, they wouldn't give me any information on where I could get the materials myself. Oh well!

You might be able to contact these guys through ebay:

They are re-manufacturing C32 S/C's and could answer the original question. I think they are in Florida.
