I don't quite follow your post mr2tim. If I understand correctly, 8589 is talking about the SC12 supercharger oil reserve, but it looks like you are talking about the air conditioning compressor.
The SC12 supercharger contains a light weight gear oil that keeps the rotor gears lubricated. This oil does not really degrade much or get consumed like oil engine can. Only if you have a leak in your supercharger seals will the oil escape and the level will drop. So if everything is functioning correctly, you should see no oil consumption from the supercharger.
For the age of our cars, it is probably worth checking the oil level every 15,000 miles. If there is a leak, it would be better to catch it sooner rather than later. Others S/C owners here with more experience may have a different opinion.
Do we have any S/C owners that have had their supercharger oil all leak away?
