Super Charger Fluid Change

In today's video I'm changing the supercharger fluid in the SLK 32
Mobile Jet oil II is the recommended lubricant for this vehicle (or closest to it)

Love your content Mike. Keep ‘em coming!

[@ScottFoster482002]

Thank you for wearing safety glasses! It drives me nuts to see mechanics work without them. I think it's a great example for anyone who works in an environment where there are possibilities of getting eye damage.

[@biggiefitz6275]

I agree 100%!

[@WhittyPics]

You only have one set of eyes.

I'm just about half blind because of my ignorance. You cannot scream that loud enough my friend

[@imtheonevanhalen1557]

I worked in a transmission factory years ago in the turning dept. They were like Stasi in east Berlin about safety glasses....one day we had to go to a department meeting, and they showed us a film about the importance of "safety glasses.." The narrator of the film showed a guy at a grinding wheel and explained how the projectile released from this operation could send a fragment at the velocity of a .38 revolver.... I kept thinking ' I can be shot in the eye with a .38 and the 'safety glasses' will stop it?".....try it.

[@pywaketpilot]

@@imtheonevanhalen1557 No, safety glasses won't stop a bullet. But they will stop a metal fragment that weighs a fraction of what a bullet does. Mass matters...

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Mike, this is a really fantastic series and it makes me so glad that I don’t own this car as I wouldn’t want to pay a mechanic to do all of this work.

[@JRs-Garage]

In reality I often wonder how many times most owners would ever change that fluid in the supercharger, it’s always nice to see a mechanic who does preventative maintenance, thanks Mike great video!👍🏻

[@Dakiraun]

Great walk-through - no more (or less) detail than needed. Always love the montage moments too because they're always your own custom music; makes each one feel "new" and interesting.

[@young2o278]

Relaxing to watch

[@bradchoi9679]

Mike, I have to tell you that I really appreciate that you don't repeat everything five or six times. Very succinct and to the point. Please don't change!

[@smsunder]

Magic Mike does it again! Thanks for the how to video changing the supercharger oil.

[@Derf1313]

Nice tips & tricks! That certainly is a low profile Scharger, but grew up with roots style, always finding a new way to mount, lol. Definitely a piece of engineering... Thanx !

[@steveg5122]

Never thought about super chargers taking their own oil, thought they would be fed from the 5W30 in the oil sump. Consdered getting a thunderbird super coupe about 8 years ago but didn't wanna have to deal with the emissions testing of a pre OBD-II supercharged car.

[@josephsager9425]

I'm so jealous! I have an R170 SLK230 and unfortunately it's probably gonna sit in storage this summer until I can save up the money to install new main lift cylinders for the vario roof.

[@lirr408]

Wonderful demonstration. Great video. Looking forward to the next video.

[@dalejones3862]

Great work magic mike

You are making most of us smarter inside of 5 minutes. Good deal!

[@yodasbff3395]

Nice video, thanks. 👍

[@duncangrainge]

Good work Mike . Keep them coming bud.

[@wurly164]

Thank you for showing the work

[@zoefaith120]

Not bad for the magic man! Professional to the core. And wizard approved.

[@rickgalla3377]

Great video Mike, thank you from nyc

[@biggiefitz6275]

Great video!👍👍

[@brandonbe5351]

Thank you for the content!!

[@GeekyFast]

Good stuff, Mike!

[@markguillory281]

cool video

[@stuartkcalvin]

Thanks mate.

[@vwburger]

That seems awesome that the wizard let’s you video at his shop. I love that.

[@janosszav]

I wonder that the Wizard would taste that one too :D

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Dereck at VGG would. 🤷‍♂️😏🤫🤭😆

[@michelswerissen6544]

Video approved, click.

[@Bugholeexcalibur]

I want to buy an Alfa Romeo 159, petrol. Everyone is telling me they are bad cars, from a mechanical point of view, but I like how they look. Sorry for the off-topic.

[@RockymountainRobert]

It would be nice to see Michael's channel surpass wizards, just my opinion.

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Mike, more details please. Skipping over the details is a bad idea. Look at Rainman Ray videos

[@FraserGartshore]

I don't think I've ever considered a SC fluid change before. I wonder how many supercharged cars out there have never had their fluid changed, let alone regularly serviced? What's the recommended service interval?

[@magicmikethemechanic]

According to Mercedes this is a lifetime fill and fluid does not need to be changed 😂 I’d say every 50k miles.

[@jacquesvanzyl374]

Great video Mike. I Have a question though,what type of oil did you use (viscosity etc.)?

[@mohamedazkoul9544]

The fluid is Mobile Jet II or shell Aero 500 or 560 capacity is 150ML ...whatever quantity comes out the same should get back in.

[@jackwood8307]

❤

[@QALibrary]

I am surprised how little fluid that needed changing

[@cdangers]

I'm supporting this channel for sure.. but bro.. You've got to do something about that music. Maybe I'll make some tracks for you to use.

[@beverlyharvey9785]

You did not show the detail of how you put everything back together....why? That would have been very helpful!!!!

[@kenpringle6568]

Is that a toupee on Magic's head🤔

[@speed23ism]

Gotta get some better music Mike. Otherwise, great channel.

[@mattross8131]

Mike, does that oil smell as bad as the friction modifier for Dodge limited slip rear ends? Great video!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I actually shuddered thinking about the smell.

[@TXCherokee]

Those oil coolers are notorious for leaking Mopar uses them on several models

[@toinfinitiandbeyond9209]

How many once you put in and what is the fluid viscosity?

[@trixie9867]

ohhh

[@bundachapper]

How much oil did you use for the oil change?

[@dayrongarcia7804]

Every how many miles is needed to do this maintenance??

[@auntbarbara5576]

Everyone dont forget to like/share/sub. Espcly us Wiz folk, lets show MM the love :)

[@davidcroker5660]

Mike thinking of doing this on my slk 32 - is it difficult removing the belts to get to the drain plug ? Not done this before any advice many thanks Dave

[@josephsager9425]

Is actually super easy to remove the belts on this engine. Get a wrench with sufficient leverage on the tensioner pulley, pull, and slip the belt off the smooth idler.

[@davidcroker5660]

Thanks Joseph - are the pipes easy to do ? Not sure what supercharger oil to use

[@housmass45]

MM we have to get you to 50K subscribers and soon ! All YOU have to do on your titles is mention either Hoovie or Car Wizard ! You could have double dipped here in your title ! You could have said something like ! " Changing SuperCharger fluid in the Hoovie Free SLK after hours in the Wizard garage ! " Yep click bait . But it's true ! Get more people to look because of buzz words, hopefully they'll take a look and subscribe !

Synthetic sperm whale 🐋 oil.

[@richards8872]

Yeah that fluid is nasty smelling. I changed the fluid on my 1999 SLK230 and it did not smell nice 😂

[@nyccollin]

Volvo logo has now always been the male symbol, Volkswagen logo has now always had a separation, and Ford logo has always had a stupid looking pigtail. Mandela Effect.

[@teamdrivealot8441]

I really hate old transmission oil smell!! After that is diffrental oil , pretty much the same nasty smell damn i hate it!

[@obsoleteprofessor2034]

Don't do a Hoovie and put the wrong oil in the wrong hole.

What is the fluid? Synthetic sperm whale 🐋 oil?
