supercharger question
I just purchased a 2007 f150 HD with the 5.4 SC. I have never owned a SC vehicle before, and I am wondering what normal maintenance and or things I should be checking. The truck has 66k miles on it and I had it serviced, oil etc, but did not know if there was something else I should be checking?
Thanks in advance for your help!

While aI am not sure what special oil it has to use. I do own the only model that came Factory supercharged from VW. And from my expriance is SC's like clean oil and clean air. Don't skimp on the intervals for changing if you use oil that say good for 5000 miles, change it every 3 months or 3000 miles. Contaminats in the oil and air are what wear the parts.

I agree you need to check it like you do your motor oil but most companies do not recommend changing it 3 to 5K miles...lol
Go with whatever the manufacturer the blower recommends to use and change intervals.
