Hi again

Trying to figure out what oil to put in my Whipple but I am not sure what to go with or what type of Whipple I have.

I purchased it used so I don't know if its an older Lysholm compressor and I can use 5-50 wt oil or if its a newer version Whipple compressor and have to use Motorcraft or GM oil?

Is there any way of telling the two apart so I can ID it ?

Thank you

Stu

 

a picture or serial number would help. i use motorcraft XL-4.
google around for best price.

 

Thanks Hammeron , the only number I could find was stamped on the base of the main blower which is 687090

Photo attached, many thanks

 

Damn sorry it came out sideways.

 

it looks like my whipple, i think you would be fine with the XL-4 or
a GM equivalent.

 

Thats great thanks, will be ordering some tomorrow.

 

same as mine too!....XL-$ is what I will use if needed in the future......or if I ever get that Whipple belt drive by Steeda..

 

remember not to over fill, only to the center of the eye..4.5 oz thats all.

 

Great, thank you guys, got it on order, take it the one bottle to fill it will be ok from empty?

Thanks

 

just for future reference on optional whipple supercharger oil:
GM part number 12345982.
