Is this for the extra zinc in the older HM oils?

I plan on re-sealing it myself. I could buy the parts with the upgraded impeller for about $600 which is almost $1k cheaper than what Procharger charges. The "fill cap" is just a flat head screw and I don't know if there's a breather valve that small. But I will look around.

The seals provided by Procharger leave much to be desired and the pressure inside the case has nowhere to go because it's not vented. When I find the time I'm going to replace the seals and upgrade to a D1 impeller while I'm at it, but for the time being I will continue to do the perpetual oil...

$2.05/qt for QSAD is still a great deal!

I never thought to use jet turbine oil but that seems brilliant. I ran some numbers real quick and my blower will see a maximum of 45k RPM at 6k engine RPM with my current pulley setup. I believe there are ABEC7 bearings inside. Would turbine oil be overkill for this application?

I tried searching for a thread on this and didn't find any which is a surprise to me. I figured it would have been discussed before. Anyways, are there any Procharged vehicles on this forum that use oil other than the proprietary Procharger oil? Has anyone ran a VOA on their brand oil? My head...

Then I rest my case.

I believe the API SN rated Pennzoil Platinum is Dexos1 approved. The fact that it's cheaper than other synthetics of this caliber is an added bonus.
