See the attached file for the installation of your supercharger. The instructions state:

5 quarts SF rated quality engine oil


I don't imagine that you're running 20w or 50w oil in your motor now unless you live in the desert. The supercharger doesn't create a reason to start running oil of that weight now.

That unit is relatively low boost and sits in a circulated bath of oil. Run the oil that's best for the motor and is SF rated.


If you want opinions on what oil people prefer, create a new thread in the General/Talk section.
