I had my local shop change the oil on my GS400.

I've got the RMM SC.

They told me they put in 7 quarts of Redline Oil.

Does having the SC increase the amount of oil that is needed?

I argued with them that 5.5 quarts was the Max amount.

If I am wrong I will be happy to admit it.

Thanks

i dontget why it takes more oil though? i woulda swore that he was right when i was reading this and the shop was just stupid...

 

the supercharger runs/cools itself by the oil line

If you look when you hook up the supercharger lines it draws the oil near the oil filter

and then drains back into the oil pan

instead of having to change the oil in the supercharger (like some models ) this runs off the cars oil

and this is why its s o important to change the oil every 2-3,000 miles

 

thanks for the info.... i now feel a bit more knowledged bout it hehe ..

 

very good info.. i guess ill change myfluids then

 

Hey Johnny

Thanks for the info. I'm changing every 3000 miles.
Do you think 2000 would be even better?

I don't know to much about the SC except that I love the power.

Is there any other maint I need to do on it.
It seems that I saw something about it getting power off the power steering.
If that is true do I need to change the power steering fluid.

Thanks again

what i used Ivan was some Lucas power steering products

to help with the added use of the power steering pump

just make sure you change it at the most every 3000

 

since day 1 i've done my oil changes at 2000 miles.. but i work at toyota so its easier for me
