GM's new supercharger oil

[gtpeddie]

just went to the GM dealer ship today to pick up some supercharger oil and they walked out with this. i said do you have the GM oil (like they always had before) and he said this is it, this is the new GM supercharger oil. this AC delco stuff, it cost $10.89 plus tax. what sucks about this is there is not little tip to squirt the oil in and the bottle only come half full.

Wierd, i just bought some last week and they had the regular bottles.

Oh weird. That sucks about no little spout. Maybe I'll keep a few old bottles so I can fill em up again.

I see the problem...you bought from Faulkner lol. I used to work for their VW dealer in Allentown, PA. I don't miss the dealer one bit. Anyway, it sucks that they changed the design, but if it's what's out there, then it's all we got.

How much fluid was in the old bottles? The new ones have 4oz. The GM dealer near me sell only the new stuff. Also they gave me the squirt tops. Hmmm.

seems to be the same amount of s/c oil in the bottles. but wonder why they switched brands like that. mine said gm supercharger oil when i bought it.

You mean you have to use a funnel now, what is this, the dark ages?

Looks like they're screw tops to the bottles.

Only difference besides shape that I see is... no flip top squirter. Probably cost more.

[gtpeddie]

the bottles just feel cheaper to and look uglier, im sure the oil is the same but looks like they changed to save money on making the bottle like Bill said. i dont know why they wouldn't put the GM name on it though. on the back it has a GM copyright though.

I work at a GM dealership. We don't sell or order in the new supercharger fluid bottles because we don't ever have anyone need them... except me and I'm not ordering a case for myself lol.

All of our inventory has changed labels.

Not sure why, but the Gear Lube has a completely different bottle, shorter, wider, lost the handle... stupid.
The Power Steering fluid, went from a normal round quart bottle, to a square bottom cube bottle.

All the labels are different, and most got a new part # update regardless of the fact that the fluid is still the same.

I don't know what they are doing/smoking at HQ but I hope they are enjoying themselves.
