How long will a supercharger last?

Superchargers are built to last as long as the engine in which they are installed, which is typically around 150,000 miles. However, there are a few things that can shorten the life of a supercharger:

* Running the supercharger at too high of a boost pressure. This can cause the supercharger to overheat and fail.

* Using the wrong oil. Superchargers require a specific type of oil that is designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures generated by the supercharger. Using the wrong oil can cause the supercharger to wear out prematurely.

* Not servicing the supercharger regularly. Superchargers need to be serviced regularly to ensure that they are functioning properly. This includes changing the oil and inspecting the supercharger for wear and tear.

If you follow these tips, your supercharger will likely last for the life of your engine.
