Default Supercharger oil

I’m gonna be removing the supercharger to change the coolant pipes while I’m doing that should I change the supercharger oil? It would probably be one of the few times where I can actually access it easier but the car only has 28,000 miles on it not real sure about What has been done or not done service wise -
although there was some service history on the Carfax. I just replaced both upper control arms because both boots were split. Is there anything else that needs to be done while I’m in there at this point.? I’m also changing to a ZZP higher flow auxiliary pump and I have changed the lower crank pulley. Do I need to flush the coolant system and go ahead and replace the water pump and thermostat? I would prefer to take care of things that I know are potentially going to be a problem down the road. Thanks.

Fluids are also affected by age. Every time my supercharger has been off, the fluid has been changed.

Ditto for the coolant. I think you will find that the published maintenance schedule dictates that many of these fluids are changed every 2 years.

Yes, brake fluid and power steering.

And yet some never bother…

cheers!

thanks. For the coolant, I’m using Zerex G05. What are recommendations for brake fluid and power steering fluid? I just changed the oil and I used liquiMolly 0W20 special tec synthetic.
