I did a quick search and didnt come up with what I was looking for, so here we go. I know its not an LS but figured that a basic question like mine could be answered here regardless. I bought a 2002 Buick regal gs 3.8 supercharged. This is the first time I have had a supercharger on any vehicle of mine and was wondering if there are any special care/maintenance to go along with one. It only has 61k on the clock and runs really smooth. If you guys have any tips or checks for a noon such as myself, would he a big help because I will be the first to admit I know the very basics of forced induction. Thnx

I used to own a gtp, fairly similar. You need to maintain the oil in the blower. It is self contained and will need replaced every so often. Also, they m90's are notorious for wearing out their snout bearings. If it sounds like its full of rocks, it probably needs replaced.
