My supercharger is working, about 13psi, but it may be using oil?

Though I would check my supercharger oil. I added some at first build, about 250 mile ago. Is it supposed to be filled to the plug? Somewhere I read that the capacity is under 4 oz. I just added more than that. What gives?

There is a very specific amount that goes in there. I will have to do some research to find it again. When I changed mine, I bought the OEM oil and added exactly what it said was to be in there. With that being said, I have not checked it since either.

Also since this compressor is used in different engines and mounted differently, the angle of the fill hole will change thus changing the level I. Each case. So a static amount would be the accurate way of capability.

According to ZZP it may take 1.5 to 2 bottles of oil so 6-8 oz
