FYI, you may want to change your oil every 3-4k miles just to be safe! I installed my supercharger in August, and had already planned on changing my oil every 5k miles or sooner because of the upgrade. I changed my oil today and found just a little,, and I mean a tiny bit of metal shavings on the tip of the oil plug, which is magnetic in case ya didn't know already. So I assume that these shavings should be from break-in, considering my SUT only has 11k miles total right now. It had 5k miles when I installed the supercharger, as well as a fresh oil change with Royal Purple at 5k miles. I went over about 2k miles from my own self proprosed 4k mile oil change. I will not be doing that again.

Of course, this advice comes from someone with a heavy foot. I love my supercharged H2 and cannot seem to keep my foot out of the gas. Just too much fun!!

But be warned!

This is normal wear for any Chevy V8.
