There is no supercharger for the 7thgen... either way, they have a self-contained oil source. With a turbocharger, change the oil every 2000 miles if you're good. Some do it every 3000.

I also thought that it was every 50,000 miles to check the balancing and seals on the turbocharger... but I might be wrong on that one.

just run premium. I change my oil like normal, and it still comes out clean as new.

And not all superchargers are self contained. Most arent. Some whipples and autorotors are, and i think vortech are not.

yeah 91+ is best, in NE we're lucky enough for 93, and even 94 at sunoco, use the highest octane rating you can get - for forced induction of course.
