Supercharger Oil - What to use?

[nytebyte]

I've been unable to locate any of the Ford XL-4 supercharger oil.
I ordered it from a Web site that said they had it ready to ship but I never received it. After calling them, it turns out they claim it's a "hazardous material" and can't ship it (even though they took my order, fucking morons). If that's really true and they weren't BSing me, what the hell is in that stuff?

Anyway, what oil do you guys use in your Eaton?
I heard that you can use BP 2380 Turbo Oil. Anyone try it?

Mobil 1 10w30.

I've heard the Pontiac dealers carry the oil for their Eatons and two 4 oz bottles will work fine.

+1 Any GM dealership will carry it. A quick google search found part number: 12345982

I got some from the local buick stealership a few weeks ago for $7/btl.

I am on my 3rd year of using Mobil 1 10W30, works just fine.

Ok, I ordered the BP 2380 Turbo Oil, so I guess I'll be the guinea pig on this one. It seems to be highly regarded in the Lightning and Super Coupe crowd on their M90's. It has much better specs than just straight-up synthetic 10W-30 motor oil and it's fully synthetic unlike the GM supercharger oil.

If it blows up my Eaton, you'll be the first to know.
