Maintenance for FI cars
I've never gotten really into forced induction cars, I've always stuck with larger displacement engines or H/C cams. What kind of extra maintenance is required when dealing with a supercharged car? Extra oil changes or spark plug change intervals? Just the basicsealing and information I'll need with owning one. Thanks

If your thinking about a Maggie or what we call top loader do the following. Change the oil every three thousand miles. Close the hood and forget about it. You are allowed to open the hood whenever and take photos and make sure the oil level is on that little notch on that little stick. Takes practice but its not that hard to pick up.
