substitue oil for procharger

[mustangflanagan]

Is there a oil i can sub for the procharger oil for a short period of time. Headunit is leaking and low on oil

Dude you're just not having any luck are you. I know people say it's just supposedly rebottled .... Ummm can't remember, royal purple dif fluid?? But I wouldn't use anything else other then the stuff from procharger. Would hate to use the wrong oil and then need a new head unit.

I said fuck it and put trans fluid in it

I'm pretty sure it's rebottled RP ATF.

That's what I think it is. However it is NOT regular ATF like used!

The Procharger oil is green and very thin. Is that the consistency of the RP stuff you guys mention ?
Personally, I wont be putting anything but Procharger oil in mine. Im not going to take the chance on damaging an expensive head unit for a few dollars worth of oil.

 

[mustangflanagan]

The only reason i did is because the pos headunit from prochargers leaks and i had very little oil in it

I ran the royal purple XPR 20w50 the last part of last year and had no issues. Research it and proceed at your own risk.

Seems there are many using it and about that many say its wrong. LOL

Not knowing much about it I'd be more inclined to use a synthetic ATF. It's a gearbox, not an internal combustion engine.

Maybe I will drain mine this weekend and have a look see.

Thats what im running on my p1sc1 and have no issues with it. Did help a little with the leak prochargers are known to have.

It's Paxton and Vortech that use re-bottled Royal Purple Max ATF as their lubricants.

No idea what Procharger uses.

Need to side track the thread a bit , was thinking about a Pro charger on the new 2014 but hadn't heard about "leak" issues. I have run a vortech system on the 09 for about 4 years with 0 problems. Please enlighten me.

Just order the seals from superchargers.com and put them in from the start. They are far better then the seals that came in my F1a. I did buy mine in 06 though.

I had a D1SC on for awhile and it didn't leak. I ran it from 2012 to 2013 and bought it new in the fall of 2012.

IMO it was a very well designed system. The fit, finish, and quality were all very good. Another plus is the billet compressor and 4.1 drive ratio. It allows for higher rpms which means you can spin it faster and be into boost sooner than with most centris.
