Default S/C oil change help

So I have and 06 TC and I need and oil change for the supercharger. I called my local toyota dealer and they could not find me any information since the supercharger is discontinued. I was just wondering what kind of oil and how much should i use and if there was anything else important i should know about the subject. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Never heard of an oil change for the supercharger, the same oil that goes through your motor goes through the s.c. so as long as you change the engine oil every 3 to 5k miles everything is ok

It uses the engine oil supply, when you change your engine oil you are also changing the SC oil. You should however periodically clean the oil squirter since it has a little screen.

I just rebuilt my s/c last year and found out that what I should have been using was 10w40, & that's not only from posts on here but also from a shop that rebuilds s/c's for +20 years. Now after using it for 6-7 months I can tell a big difference. I would say use 4-4.5 quarts of 10w40
