Oil on MPI supercharger

[Cilius66]

Does anybody know what oil MPI uses on the superchargers? Is there other brands to use?

You need to get it from MPI or Ulmer. I don't believe anyone has found any other kind you can run.

I think it's normal air compressor oil!? Both the smell and look is similar.
The function should be the same too!?

Or does anyone have any info?

It is not normail air compressor oil - it has a special additive for the toothless gears - a friction ajent that runs between the gears to drive them. If you don't use their oil the gears will slip, causing lots of heat and burn the unit out! Save yourself alot of money down the road and buy the proper oil. Once you educate yourelf on ho the unit drives its self you ill understand and buy the proper oil - it does more then lubricate

It Rotrex Traction oil. You might be able to save some money if you can get it from a Rotrex dealer.

Was in contact with a danish company, but Ulmer Racing delivered it to me FAST. Have been doing some testing with the MPI and the power and the response i amazing.

Whats the easiest way to prime the blower after an oil change ?

I've used a air hose to pressurized the system through the oil tank, turm your regulator down to about 15 psi.
