I have ran a search and could not get an answer to my question, possibly I overlooked it. I have an AA supercharger and it has been running for about 19000 miles, with no problems I might add. Is it necessary to change the oil or do I just continue to add as needed. Also, what type of oil is it and can it be purchased somewhere other than AA for >100 a bottle.

http://www.kraftwerksusa.com/product...p?productId=37 Fluid $97.99

AA used to be $160 until a little research on the net by a few people.

I'd like to know that as well. I have bottle standing in my garage, but haven't had time to deal with it yet.

AA has told me once that it was lifetime, then I spoke to AA again later and they said once a year, the instructions say 2 years or 50K whichever comes first.

Got a replay to my e-mail.

Rotrex suggest every 50,000 miles. You should not need to add oil if you loose oil the you have a leak. You can drain everything except the blower, you would have to remove the blower to drain.

So is that the best price for this oil?

there has to be cheaper places...look for the rotrex guys that do offroad stuff, like snowmobiles and all..they charge alot less for the same parts as they do not have the "BMW" name associated with them.
