Question Procharger Oil?

Just something I've been thinking about; what makes the Procharger oil so special that it is ~$10 for 6oz? Besides that fact that they will void a warranty over anything else.

If say Procharger were to stop producing it or went out of business what would be a replacement?

With that said I need to order some from EPP

I probably wouldn't use any other type of oil than the Procharger recommends. I had a couple of bottles left over from when I had a D1SC, but couldn't use it on my F1C because it needed a different oil..

I know that the GM supercharger oil that my GTP took was priced very similarly.

Pretty sure the supercharger oil is the same. The P & D1SC oils come packaged in 6 oz containers and the F1 Series come in 4 oz bottles

On another note I have a customer running Mobil1 0w20 oil along with Cam-Shield (Zinc, ZDDP) additive for almost 1 year with no problems

If enough people were interested and chipped in I could send a sample of procharger oil out for elemental analysis

This is kind of what I was thinking. What is in the oil that makes it what it is. For all we know it can be repacked baby oil . I know oil analysis tests only run about $30 (IIRC). A elemental analysis would probably be expensive...
