The oil is available from us at Saleen.

How about throwing out a PN# for the oil so we can get it in the thread. Thanks.
Also, any such thing as an User's Manual (for the simple stuff I mentioned above) so we can stay on top of taking care of the S/C?

As per saleen, the oil they put in it at the factory is good for 100,000 miles. Its a special synthetic s/c oil. You will prob never have to change it. Just make sure the level is up to the threads. Mine was low as some leaked out during shipping. You can get the oil from them($50 per pint). You could also use synthetic 5/50 but would have to change it regularly. The sheer pita factor involved in changing the oil makes it worth it to use saleen's oil. S/c only holds 1 pint of oil. As for the intercooler. Water dissipates heat better than antifreeze, so the more water you can use in the mix the better.

Only access to the oil res. is via that small allen bolt on the front drivers side of the s/c. I had to take off the coolant cross over piece to get at it. Just loosen the bolts and slide it forward a little. You can access the bolt w/o loosing much coolant (dont get coolant in the oil res.) Level should be to the bottom of the threads, but that may have changed now also..maybe Red Devil can chime in....
