Whipple Supercharger Oil.

[Daryl333]

Whipple Gen 3 Stage 2, 10 LBs boost.
Going to take a few days for Oil to get here.
Is this a harmful level on Bearings etc to be driving around on? Won't be going WOT or pushing it.

You have a site glass on yours? How/why are you low? Are you certain the car is sitting level?

Thing is I wasn't the one who installed the blower and put in the oil. I guess I should have checked instead of relying on professionals to fill it.
Anyhow I replaced the oil with some AC Delco Supercharger oil for now until I get the Whipple oil from a vendor.
Bearings do sound a little quieter at idle but haven't driven it yet to see about the blower whine.

So when you fill the Whipple with oil, it basically is just one little bottle, I believe it's 4oz. It's kind of hard to mess that up. Be careful, because you don't want to overfill it either.

You want the oil to be at the halfway mark on the window. You can go to NAPA and get Ester Oil to raise the level if needed as that's what Whipple recommends to use.

Thx for the replies.
Indeed the Oil was low in my Blower.
Was quite a bit below the 1/2 way mark. I don't know where oil went if they really did fill it at installation?
After draining the old and putting in approx 6.5 OZ. Of Whipple oil the Bearing noise and whine has been reduced considerably. I am sure this was the problem.
For those that have a discolored site glass shining a flashlight down the fill hole and taking a pic with your phone works wonders for seeing the level.
