You can run a Full syn 5w20 or 5w30 for a short time period if you can't get supercharger oil right away.

Looks like my snout seal is shot leaked out quick

Guess ill run some thick gear oil lol

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

I wouldnt run a real thick oil in it, be best to just replace the seal.

Rebuilding it or look for a used assuming you have a gen 2 snout off here?

i used some mobil 1 75 90 gear oil for a long time on my gtp with no issues or leaks

[nascartech]

How hard is it to change the seal never done it before

[REDCRAPGP]

I believe you need a press to take apart the snout. I haven't heard of anyone that went that route normally they just spend a few bucks and buy a snout off here.

Gear oil is too thick. I've used 10w-30 mobile 1 before for about 10k miles without issue. It's best to use S/C oil though.

TLsheff has a copy of the tech bulletin saying 5-20 or 5-30 mobil one full syn.

Rebuilding isn't bad if you have an idea what you are doing. Which is easy if you reference rollingperformance.com's how to.
