Supercharger oil

hey guys i got '01 xjr with 70,000 miles im the second owner however i do not know if the guy before me has ever changed the supercharger oil. is there any specific oil? i know GM sells it but ive never seen any for a jag. idk if its like universal or not. And if anyone has any experience about how much does it take? its about that time of year so car shows around my area are starting to pop up so i want the jag running tip top

MB, I don't see why not. The Ford Lightnings use an Eaton supercharger in them. So, should be essentially the same thing. But, I would want to make sure that there isn't something funky going on there either.

GM used the M90 Eaton in a lot of applications, too.
