supercharger oil

hi would just like to ask anyone tried this yet

Planning on changing my oil soon. A mechanic told me before that you just need to remove one bolt somewhere and there you will put the oil. just not sure where. thanks

Actually, there is one bolt for the front and one for the rear. Unfortunately, you need to remove the SC to access them.

Important thing to note...They are selling Aircraft TURBINE OIL...
This may or may not work...and is being sold at a pretty big up-charge. BP2380, the oil they are most likely repackaging and selling is about $25 quart....available at most FBO (gas station's for planes) at most any airport with a 5000 foot runway, and some jet or turbo prop traffic...follow the signs to the "GA" section..where private, corporate planes use...anybody buying 100LL for race cars know the drill....
Their price of $35.00 per 8 oz is high...and if they are doing it LEGALLY should also include an extra HAZMAT shipping charge of approx $20 PER BOX, PLUS shipping charges (Post office will NOT do HAZMAT, UPS and FexEX can for SOME shippers...has a multipart shipping label with red strips, special handling, for the safety of those transporting the item....).....The chemicals in the oil are pretty bad....so as they said, use gloves....
The oil may or may not be compatible...wanna be the gunia pig?!
The correct oil is available through GM dealers...they stock easton SC oil.
