Default Supercharged fluid

Do we need to change the supercharged fluid every 60000km as the previous M.Benz models require to.....? Or Jaguar supercharged engines do not need to..?

Reminds me of the old Quartermaster joke of sending the newbie to find the relative bearing grease....

In theory the supercharger oil in the Eaton TVS superchargers on the F-Type never needs changing (ie "sealed for life"), but in practice it's a good idea to change it on a high mileage car or one that is regularly driven very hard. But it's a pig of a job, no way to do it without removing the SC from the car, see this thread for some info: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...percharger+oil

Hmm... the drive gears are on the same end as the pulley on the Eaton superchargers I've looked at?

The oil bath they run in is filled with some pretty toxic lubricant too...
