Supercharger care for 94 Previa

Hi, I have recently purchased a Supercharged 94 Estima Japanese import into New Zealand) Previa and am wondering what if anything i need to be aware of regarding care and servicing. I have seen on another thread within this site that the supercharger uses oil for lubracation, where is the dipstick to check the level.

Regarding general servicing of the Previa is there any weak areas i should be checking and service. I have ordered Chiltons repair guide but any advice in the mean time would be appreciated.

Hi,

Yes supercharger use oil to lubricate. The interval to change it is long (somewhere around 100,000miles but don't quote me on this). There's no dip stick on superchargers due to the small size.

Regular maintenance and oil change should keep it running fine.
