Is there regular maintenance required for the ECS supercharging system?

You need to change the oil in the head unit from time to time and check belt condition - just like any non sc'd engine.

I was told change head unit oil when you change engine oil, and that's about it as far as the kit itself goes.

I change mine every two oil changes. I don't beat on the car so it'll be fine at that interval.
But for the curious, this is what the vortech oil bottle says...

That's what I'm planning to do. I did my first change already, but I normally only beat the car at the track, and that is a once or twice a month deal while the track is open. I also don't put many miles in my car even though is my DD.
