remember the oil used is the same oil that is used on just about every jet engine in the military and department of defence under the name MIL-PRF-23699F just figured it might be esier to find.

Not sure if its recommended by MB, but you change every other fluid in a vehicle as maintenance, why would you not want to change the supercharger oil?

No. It is not. Checked with former MB mechanic on this. That's after I did it myself though.
