How much does the ATI oil cost?

I wonder if GM supercharger oil for the 3.8 FI GTP is the same type? It's a special oil they sell that is made for the Eaton M90 supercharger.

My ProCharger came with 4 bottles. I upgraded the to the 3 year warranty for $49.00 and they sent me 6 extra bottles. If you use anything but the ProCharger oil, it voids your warranty.

I don't take anything except the fill plug and the drain plug loose when I do my oil changes. I can't imagine having to take the blower off just to change the oil...

I unscrew the dipstick, pour the oil in, and screw the dipstick back in. That's it! Two minutes tops!

That's what I was told by Tom Izzo at Speed Inc. He told me you have to take it apart when I asked about it. The oil needs to be changed, I've seen the drain plug but I seem to have a problem locating the dipstick. I have a some wires covering the very top of the charger right by the stamping. Which covers the top of the charger. Maybe I'm just looking to hard. Sorry about the mis informed info. I also never recieved a instruction guide with it.

On my car, the dipstick is damn hard to get to. I find it easier if I remove the plenum hose on the driver's side. I also bought a funnel with an end small enough to go into that little hole.

The drain plug is easy as hell. Just get under the car, take an 18mm socket with you, and voila!! I've only done it once, and I took my time, especially putting the oil back in. I didn't want to miss a drop!
