Supercharger Maintenence...

[Silveraudi]

I´m wondering, what kind of maintenence should I do to my 330ci and how often for each part since I have a supercharger ?

I´m thinking oil and oil filter changes, coolant changes, fuel filter and spark plug changes, just don´t know how often for each item, and if I should add anything else to this "regular" maintenence.


TIA

My routine is a bit more aggressive due to the way I track my car.

I change my oil and filter every 6 months.

Engine oil cooler hoses replaced every year.

Transmission fluid hoses replaced every year.

Coolant, transmission fluid, fuel filter, spark plug every year.

Coolant hoses every 18 months.

Check for ign coil resistance every 6 months. Replace if needed.

Check for cracks in belt every 6 months.

Power steering hoses replaced every year regardless.

Check all bushings (control arm, trailing arm) every year. Change if needed.

Replace cam valve cover seal every 2 years.

Clean ICV every year.

Tighten all clamps every 3 months.

Clean out all hoses (boost and non-boost side) every 3 months.

Check cyclone separator every year. Replace if needed.

Check fuel pump resistance every 18 months.

Check health of battery and alternator every year.

And this I added to my new routine for this year:

Leak down test + compression testing every year.

Do you think this is really necessary? I'm genuinely curious and have never replaced mine.

it's not a LOT of work but you definitely will not be able to use and abuse your car the way most do

[steelgrey330ci]

that is a good list to work with, like others said, if its a daliy driver then this list is perfect.

Thats gotta be a typo right?

Based on his routine, I assume it's every 6 hours ;)

Well, I´m pretty sure this has be asked a million times but I´m gonna use this thread to ask it anyway.

What is the best oil viscosity to use on a 330 with a supercharger ?? TIA
