MP62 maintenance
 
I tried searching, but did not find anything in regard to the maintenance schedule for a BRP M62 supercharger. I have heard that an oil change is necessary, but I am unsure of the time/mileage interval, what oil to use, and how much. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

TDR recommends the fluid replacement at 30K. From the link:

" We recommend that you do this every 30,000 miles -- or once a year if you are pushing the supercharger beyond stock recommendations (higher boost or extended track usage). "

Supercharger Oil Replacement Kit

The fluid is available for less $$ elsewhere (GM I think), but this is the easy button. Also, TDR doesn't mention it, but I think that it is supposed to be every 30K OR 3 years for the basic interval.

I'm in the UK so getting this kit would be tricky for me.
Does anyone know the amount of oil to put in my BRP MP62?

Also is there any idiot guides on how to do it?

4 FL OZ. (1 bottle). There is a drain plug in the front. If the charger is off the car you just pour it out and then refill. If it's still on the car then you just need something to suck all the fluid out.

I can confirm, 30k miles would be the most I'd go. Seems that the superchargers lose fluid through operation. Mine had 30k miles when I did my first fluid change and it was not only dark, but also only had about half the fluid left.
