To check the supercharger oil on a 1998 Buick Riviera, locate the supercharger oil reservoir, which is typically found on the supercharger itself. Remove the fill cap and visually inspect the oil level; it should be within the designated marks on the dipstick or fill neck. If the oil level is low, use a suitable supercharger oil, which is generally a synthetic oil specifically designed for superchargers, often with a viscosity of 5W-30 or similar. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations and capacities.
It is a special blend oil called "Supercharger Oil" The GM dealers can get it however it will cost around $8-$10 for a 4 oz bottle. Thank you, From www.SuperchargersOnline.com

Depending on the supercharger, it will require a special blend of synthetic oil. This synthetic oil normally is located in the supercharger itself. Most superchargers will have a hex nut located on the front of the supercharger. This area is used to drain and fill up the supercharger oil. You cannot use just any synthetic oil, you will have to use "Supercharger Oil"
The most common and normal signs will be: * Oil leakage from the supercharger * Supercharger making a knocking noise * Lower or no boost pressure * Oil not present inside the supercharger
Use SAE 5w30 Full Synthetic.
Usually you should plan on changing your supercharger oil once a year or every 20-30,000 miles. And yes it can be harmful to the supercharger to not change the oil in it, just as not changing the oil in the engine would be not to change it. Folks the oil cooling the superchargers I am aware of is the same oil from the same reservoir as in the engine. So when you change oil in the engine you are changing oil in the Supercharger as well. If this is not the case, someone please tell me as well. The oil in the supercharger is not the same as engine oil. Do not use regular engine oil in the supercharger on the GTP, it requires special oil. It is not connected to the same resevoir, it is totally separate. The last comment informing that the Supercharger oil is entirely different and not connected to the engine oil completely correct. Regarding charing the supercharger oil, the owner's manual states the following: "Unless you are technically qualified and have the proper tools, you should let your dealer or a qualified service center perform this maintanence." The owners manual then goes on to state that the oil in the supercharger should be every 30,000 miles or 36 months - whichever is sooner. To check your oil on the supercharger, do the following: 1. Make sure your engine is cold - i.e. at least 2-3 hrs after running. 2. Clean the area around the fill plug on the supercharger so no debris or impurities get in the system. 3. Remove the oil fill plug w/ a 3/16" allen/hex wrench. 4. The oil level is correct when it just reaches the bottom threads on the inspection hole. 5. Repleace the oil plug w/ the O-ring in place. 6. Torque to 88lb-in. The type of oil for the supercharger is Supercharger Oil GM Part No. 12345982. -gz1
