Nissan does not specify a type or quantity of oil nor do they list any maintenance requirements for the super charger.

AGAIN, THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR THE SUPERCHARGER. IF you have a noise, most likely you are not using hi-test fuel.

Hello "Frontierguy"
Glad to have your years of experience and am enjoying searching for S/C issues here at the forum! I have noise at the front of my Eaton M-62 though and have always run hi-octane fuel in this '03. This is the coffee grinder, off-idle sound described elsewhere on the net in reference to supercharger oil, coupler, and even bearing replacement.
I'm surprised to see so little discussion of this noise and it's now common "remedies" mentioned here -other than to dismiss it. Is it because members have simply moved on, driving and discussing newer trucks (or even later gen supercharger swap-outs), the issue's "coupler/oil replacement solution" is simply bunk, or is industry/marketplace just responding now to early gen M-62 related fatigue??

Working in a very small dealership, I see very few S/C Frontiers. The ones I've seen have not had any issues. The point I was trying to make is, that Nissan says that the S/C requires no maintenance. If it is bad replace it. I'm sure there are guys that have the time and resources to disassemble and rebuild one, so be it. A loose timing belt is a very possible source for a noise, if you listen to the base of the distributor, it will sound like it is coming apart due to the loose timing belt. The only TSB related to S/C is for the use of premium fuel to correct the noise complaint.

Classification:
ECO4-011
Reference:
NTB04-083
Date:
July 14, 2004
2001-2004 FRONTIER AND XTERRA;
SUPERCHARGER NOISE AT IDLE AND LACK OF POWER
APPLIED VEHICLES:
2001 - 2004 Frontier (D22) equipped with supercharger.
2002 - 2004 Xterra (WD22) equipped with supercharger.
IF YOU CONFIRM:
| ^ |
The supercharger makes a rattle/grinding type noise at Idle, and
|
| ^ |
The engine has reduced power while driving.
|
ACTION:
| a. |
Review the supercharger information in this bulletin.
|
| b. |
If your incident is not caused by "park knock" as described in this bulletin:
| ^ |
Go to ASIST for further diagnostic information
|
|
NOTE :DO NOT REPLACE THE SUPERCHARGER FOR A SPARK KNOCK INCIDENT.
SUPERCHARGER INFORMATION
Premium fuel is required
| ^ |
The Supercharged (VG33) V-6 engine used in the 2001-2004 D22 Frontier and the 2002-2004 WD22 Xterra requires Premium Fuel.
|
| ^ |
If premium fuel is not used, the engine may experience "park knock" during acceleration or under heavy loads.
|
| ^ |
If spark knock is detected by the "knock sensor", the ECM will put the supercharger into bypass (fail-safe) mode.
|
| ^ |
The supercharger will make a rattle/grinding type noise at idle when it is in "fail safe".
|
| ^ |
Also, the engine will have reduced power if driven in "fail safe".
|
Supercharger Bypass Valve
| ^ |
The bypass valve limits boost pressure from the supercharger when the system is in fail-safe. |

On another note, if the knock sensor itself is malfunctioning, that may result in the same noise.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" ="">
