Default Supercharger Oil Capacity

Ok so I was changing the oil in the s/c and I was only able to get out 5oz.



Per this thread it is stating 7.3 oz.

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ics-faq-75585/

Is that the correct amount? I have ~75k miles on mine

I am pretty sure I got it all out as I shook it

It's a pretty thick oil, so some of it is sticking to the chamber. And, some may have been blown past a seal.

What is more important is that it is at the right level after filling.

So I need to put the 7.3oz back in. Gotcha. Also, this oil smells almost as bad as used gear oil

It has some of the same ingredients. The parts guy described it as pig vomit. They hate spilling a bottle in the parts department.

It's not that you need to put 7.3oz back in .. it's that you have to fill to the bottom of the fill hole so that it is dribbling out, then put the plug back in. Just like a differential fill.
