Just change oil to 1gen MagnaCharger Valk.

We open two bults and got out about 6,5 US quarts>WHAT THE HELL!!!???
Isn´t it normally about 4 quarts?

We didn´t change filter (forgot it because we were so surpised of oil...).

We put back about 4,2 quarst and the oil level on stick was normal when the bike was lifted of the stand
to straight.

Is there some extra capasity on blower or was there just too much oil?

World is full of amazing episodes...

Bolting a supercharger to the top of your engine does not increase crankcase oil capacity. Sounds like an overfill.

Jeff K and a few others would know for sure, but I believe these superchargers have self contained oil in the nose bearing, and don't use oil from the crankcase.
