DIY supercharger oil change
#41
Thanks for sharing. I'm new to the XK world (just got my 2010 XKR) but I anticipate this type of work. Does the service manual cover this job and list the intervals for changing the fluid? How much fluid does the SC require? I've changed my 95 Tbird SC fluid and also R&R the supercharger for other engine work. How difficult is the SC removal from this engine? thanks again and happy motoring.

I changed my SC oil using George05 method... It was a PITA but 3.5 hrs later it was done.... The oil was a little yellow/brown compared to the new oil which was close to clear. But here is were it got a little odd for me, I only had about 150ml in the SC, but was able to put back in close to 210ml... Where did my SC oil go? Or was the factory fill low?

well it’s one of those things that when your doing it the first time and only one other guy has done it before you that you know of, you just take it slow so you don’t mess something up... Knowing what I’m doing now I could probably cut that time down considerably... I’m in Rockwall/Heath TX a community that is 25 minutes east of Dallas, by Lake Ray Hubbard...

Lead the way... I know that this is something that everyone should probably be doing because my oil was almost half gone...
