A single-stage supercharger has one impeller. Sometimes it has two gears and is called a 2-speed supercharger. When the aircraft has climbed until the throttle is at full and the manifold pressure beguins to drop, the pilot throttles back and changes the impeller to high gear (spins the impeller faster).
Another method is to run two impellers, one usually smaller than the other. The first one is the low-pressure impeller and it feeds the second one, called the high-pressure impeller. Sometimes the two impellers have 2-speeds (low and high).
When air is compressed, it gets hotter. If there is a cooler (heat exchanger)between the first and second impeller, it is called an intercooler because it is between the stages. If there is a cooler after the second stage, it is called an aftercooler because it is after the boost stage and before the induction system which routes the compressed air-gas mixture to the cylinders.

Depending on the supercharger, it will require a special blend of synthetic oil. This synthetic oil normally is located in the supercharger itself.

You cannot use just any synthetic oil, you will have to use "Supercharger Oil"
