Green supercharger oil...🤦‍♂️wth...

[ThawkDwN_UnDEr]

G'day fellas thought I might entertain you guys and see what you think in regards to the green color of the oil that I emptied outta my trackhawks supercharger (gearcase). No smell at all, it's like totally opposite to the special supercharger oil I sought from capa performance here in Oz.

Definitely wouldn't surprise me if previous owner oiled her up with transmission fluid, removed bottom right bolt on gearcase and drain the oil out onto a sheet. There was shitloads of it even removed the heatshield attached to bottom of supercharger prior to draining, yep full of oil stains too smh!
He even cut out holes for the breather ports incorrectly 😄

I'm the third owner, purchased May of this year and unfortunately if there was an award for being naive, blind and for buying Australia's most abused/covered up trackhawk I'd probably win it 😃

Thank you @Hunter, removed the supercharger minus a hoist carefully by hand using your timber hardwood method.

Wasn't me, but I will accept the accolades.

That’s the color of stock oil fill.

^^^ Yep. I just drained one last week. Same color as you're seeing.

I'll be refilling with Mobil Jet Oil 387.

The text on your Capa oil confirms my suspicion. It says "AMG Jet 2". AMG has put Mobil Jet Oil 2 in several of their IHI units. Mobil Jet Oil 387 is simply the successor to their Jet Oil 2 product. It's superior in every way. But, Jet 2 is still perfectly acceptable.
Here is a comparison of Mobil's various Jet oils.

"Shake well before use." this tickles me

Cheers fellas....you learn something new everyday hey. Filed her up last night just waiting on new replacement parts to arrive from HHP it'd be after Christmas being the holiday season that's okay no rush.

Awaiting also a new thermal blower blanket from VCM over in my neck of the woods to replace the one originally on my unit when I bought it. The photo doesn't fo it justice but there was quite some oil attached on the inside of original blanket....guessing that ain't adhesive.

Maybe the previous owner cut out the breather ports a Lil shy of target.

I noticed the oil too. Maybe the blanket was acting as a filter too!? ;-)
