Can anyone tell me how much it usually costs to have the dealer change the oil in the supercharger i keep seeing post about this but their all do it yourselfs.

 

Dealers won't do it. Is a "non-serviceable" item.
I already asked, several times. They will simply refuse :(

 

Well that figures i wounder if places like meineke will do it

 

Chances are you won't find a shop to do it. Check this thread out.

If you were going to change out your waterpump and thermostat, that would be an excellent time to do it.

 

They might, but i wouldn't have anyplace that doesn't frequently service minis ever attempt it. If you have some basic mechanical skills it could be done yourself.

 

Yea ill probably do it myself. Thanks

 

So i called the dealership today and was told that the supercharger oil is fed from the engine.

 

Who at the dealership told you this? Speak to the service manager about this. You want to have someone that knows what they are talking about working on your car.

 

That was the service department lol

 

Find a new dealer then. I see you are in NJ, call Carolyn at Prestige MINI she knows her stuff.

 

Inskip MINI in RI does a couple of these every month !

That's plain ridiculous....( life time fluid...lol ) .

 

Yikes.....

 

Sounds like a person in the service department that has supercharger and turbocharger mixed up....hope they are not allowed within 10 feet of a car or a parts counter!! Too bad they are allowed to talk to a customer.....

 

Can someone "GET THE ROPE" and hang the SA at that MINI Cooper service department?

 

Here ya go

 

 

I think a bunch of us should call that advisor and play dumb and prank him.

 

Lol...my thoughts exactly!!
it is amazing how little knowledge some folks can have, then act like they know it all....
i know what i know...but when i don'tfor sure know, i say, not sure, might, etc....
with new mini dealers around, mant that have never sold a gen1 car, i guess this type of issue will become more common.....

 

Would be so much better if they would make more of an effort to hire folks in sales and service who actually own/drive one....

Honestly, it's like taking advice from a two year old when they don't know much about the car......

 

They need to send them to school. If you can't turn a wrench don't bother TRYING to tell me whats wrong with my car....

I bet he just slept at a Holiday Inn Express
