THANK YOU!! Dealer wanted me to pay $240 for the complete hoses assembly.smh

My supercharger hasn’t given me any issues or what are symptoms of a bad supercharger? I did change the oil , I used GM supercharger oil two bottles 8oz.

The coupling is likely wearing and would need to be replaced.
On that video, go to 1:01:00 and watch the next little bit for the diagnostic.
The supercharger section is at 1:43:20

My supercharger contains 90mL, that's about 3 oz.

You used 16oz of oil in the supercharger???
We all know that every one of our vehicles is different because they are each individually built with whatever is laying around on the shop floor that day, but ain't no way that these superchargers use 16oz. And I would strictly never use any non-manufacturer approved fluid.

V6 S/C oil capacity is 3.8oz.

As I discuss in the video, blah, blah, don't mean to lecture - really...
And not to start a knock down drag out kerfuffle...

The folks at Superchargers on Line are absolutely great at helping you to determine the correct fill amount for your unit.
Per my discussions with them, after providing them with all the casing stamp numbers and all the sticker numbers their exact words to me were
"OH! You have one of THOSE!"
Apparently there appear to be different fill amounts depending on your exact hardware.

The most common number I have seen is 151mL (5.1 oz), the comment above is for 112mL (3.8oz), and mine takes 90mL (3.0oz).

I took the approach of:
1. Is it factory original - YES
2. Is mine leaking? - NO, so whatever is in there is probably OK.
3. How much can I get out - 84mL
4. How much to put back - 85mL in the graduate cylinder, to allow 1mL residue and actually deliver 84mL
5. Cross fingers
6. So far so good after 1 year

Aww dam! I put in two bottles of 4oz!! SMH I’ll extract it. Something told me to check back in because I started the assembly process and it was going too smooth. DAM! 8oz is too much!
