Internal lube for the Omega Turbo Charger 4500

[rumaco19]

Is the internal lube system on the 4500 sealed. Was wondering the design of the internal lubrication for the connecting rods and pistons.

Watching Todd's rebuild video of the super charger (not sure if it's the same as the Turbo Charger), there are needle bearings on the connecting rod and he applies a little grease to the bearing when rebuilding the unit. To me, this would indicate that it's a serviceable unit that is not "sealed", you can remove the connecting rod and add grease if needed. Not sure if that helps, but that's what his video shows.

at around 28:00 minute mark or so.

I wonder what kind of grease is recommended for that?

I just talked to Todd about Omega Chargers, and he said there is nothing you need to do for lube maintenance. It is self contained. If you have an Omega charger and need help his # is 704-252-3024.
