Eaton Servicing

I have a 2004 Lightning with 67,000 miles on it that has always been serviced by the dealer. I asked them the last time what they did to service the Eaton supercharger and they said nothing.
That sounded strange to me so I sent Eaton an email but never got a response. Shouldn't the oil be changed at least?

Thanks for any help!

Bill

IIRC, Ford says the supercharger oil should be changed at 100K.

Should not need service unless you see oil around the back side of pulley. Then you should check oil level maybe early warning sign for seal failure.

God Bless,
