Supercharger's oil/lube
Is the supercharger a self contained system or is the supercharger supplied from the engine oil?

It is oil lube and apparently it can be changed if you deem it necessary. See this Eaton FAQ:

It appears that most of them only have oil in the front bearing and use grease for the rear needle bearings. There isn't much oil either, just over an ounce for some units and 5.1 oz. used for the ZR1.
Greasing the rear bearings is a once every 100k+ mile interval by a qualified repair center.
