The instructions say to:

"Inspect the oil at 15,000 miles and change it if dark. If it is not dark, continue to run it and check it at regular intervals" "If changing the oil: use a "Multi-Weight Synthetic Oil." I will be using 10W-30 Amsoil in mine.

Dave at Roe racing says to use Castrol GTX SAE 5W-30. I change mine every 5k miles.

Does anyone know what oil is used for the initial fill on the Roe SC? I need to top my oil off tonight and Roe is closed. Also the Castrol GTX SAE 5W-30 mentioned above is not a synthetic oil. I though we were suppose to use only synthetic oil multi-viscosity oil in the SC. Anyone know for sure?

BTW, Kenne Bell recommends Redline 50W synthetic racing oil for the same SC. http://www.kennebell.net/techinfo/general-info/SuperchargerOil.pdf

Ken, very good article !

I think Roe comes with 5W50 oil.

Let Kenny know that if they don't want to debate what oil works best, they should get the name right. There is no such designation as a "50W" viscosity. Also, having a clear oil to start with can be as much a warning as a sign of quality - molybdenum friction modifiers, for instance, are "good" but leave the oil with a green tint.
