This is what my dealer suggested. However, they also told me that I needed 8 litres! When I clarified the purpose, they said it should be ok, but said that they had never done this before. Hence, I am yet to be convinced.
Eaton also market a particular formulation and I do not believe that Eaton are doing this so that they can sell a few small bottles of oil. This also sews seeds of doubt in my mind.
Finally, I am reliably informed that, whilst some superchargers are fine with engine oil, Eaton superchargers are designed for a low viscosity aviation turbine oil which is apparently what is on eBay.
Without a definitive oil specification, it is not possible to be absolutely sure. Therefore, I shall play safe once I have saved up the £30 for the very very special stuff!!
