Thank You!!!
So if anyone has read my recent topic I was having problems with a few things in my car. 1. The super charger sounded like it was filled with rocks 2. The steering pump was getting noisy.
After many posts the issue is now fixed
1. We filled the steering pump up with fluid (it was a bit low) noise gone. Simple. 2. We changed things out on the SC one by one until we figured out I had a bad SC bearing. 3. Changed the oil in the super charger (smelled horrible) changed the breaks and a few hours later started her up.
wow...amazing. Quite, sleek, sexy and ready be driven. We couldn't have done it without you guys. I can't say thank you enough. There is so much great information here. Props to my brother as well. (Mechanic in training)
Anyway I took her out on the freeway tonight, slammed the pedal down until I hit what I like to call the "holy S***" button behind the gas pedal. This..car..is.. ungodly fast.
Can't wait to get groceries for the wife tomorrow...

Yes...it's recommended and really easy to do. Do a search theres a diy and even a video. First buy some mobil 1 jet oil online or from an aircraft mechanical shop and bypass the dealer who will charge you double for it.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
Interesting. Even up to a couple years ago, the chatter on the forum was that it was sealed and pretty much lifetime since the oild doesn't get real heated causing any degradation in quality.
Who is it recommended by?
Thanks. Will read into it.

The oil you need can be found here: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...ilJetOilII.php And yes this is the correct oil. That can contains about 900ml so it's plenty. They guy also shipped very fast.

I did notice a difference after changing the oil. It's a one beer job and well worth the small investment. One guy recommends putting Teflon on the oil bolt afterwards, I skipped this and used a little lock tight.
Car is running great.

It's not something that HAS to be done as Merc states it's life time oil. But it's very easy to change thanks to a few members here on the board. When I removed my oil there was only about 70ml in the charger (there should be about 120) It look pretty bad.

Good point. But the last time I read about this on the forum was a while ago and the understanding was that no one did the SC oil change cause the oil never reached heats that caused it to degrade. I wonder if all the regulars on here are doing this.

It's such an easy job it's something you should really do
Whole project costs less than 40 bucks and some time.
