S/C Lubrication Question

Does the supercharge use the engine oil to lubricate itself, or does it have a separate self contained system?

Their lubricant is self-contained. It’s supposedly viable for the life of the supercharger.
Specification is Mobil Jet Oil II - if you’re so inclined.

I myself was also looking for a way to "service" the SC and replace the oil then realized it was self contained, this is the first super charged car I have owned where you cannot change the SC oil (and I have owned a few).

Most any jet oil one has around the garage will likely suffice. :)

If anybody wants some jet oil for your s/c we have about 10 qts. left at the dealership,they'll let it go cheap from what I'm told.
