This ad is for a 100ml bottle of latest high specification synthetic turbine oil manufactured by British Petroleum and suitable for Eaton supercharger gear applications – the oil actually exceeds Eaton requirements and offers superb long term protection of your supercharger internals.

Sale includes 100ml of the oil in a reusable plastic bottle, and a 60ml syringe with small bore pvc hose for drawing out the old oil/ inserting the new. 

This is enough oil to have a supply for top up (M45 failures are often due to low oil level) or to refresh more than half of the oil in the M45.  If you require a complete oil change for your M45, you will need 179cc.  (The nose gear side takes 4.9 fluid ounces (139cc), and the rear side water pump gear takes 1.4 fluid ounces (40cc).  Please see our other ad for a complete refill kit of 185cc.

Most motor manufacturers overlook the strain placed on oil by high rotational speeds of superchargers and treat the oil as being filled for life – this is not good practice!  Often, by 40 or 50,000 miles and certainly at higher mileages, the oil can come out like old gravy.  Of course, that’s usually long past the time that warranties have run out – but by this time the vehicle makers are unconcerned.

To preserve supercharger life, the oil needs changing and we recommend this is done by no later than 50,000 miles.

For the M45 you will need a 3/16 allen key to remove the fill plug(s – one front and one rear), but that’s all that is needed to perform this vital bit of preventative home maintenance.
