How often do you need to change the oil for the supercharger. I have 75K on it, and i have never changed it out. Is it time?  How is this done? thx in advance.

You're supposed to check the level every 36k, but I just change it every 36. Very easy. Remove the hex nut from the snout. Then I use a hand pump to pump out all the oil, then I fill it with two bottles of supercharger oil. You fill it until the oil, come up to the hole.

If you don't have a hand pump... a turkey baster with a small length of vacuum hose (a clear hose works best) attached to the snout works good too. Just don't use your wifes baster...ouch! :ox

I used the top off of a hand soap dispenser, it's a pump and it's cheap (disposable kind). Worked great! I just pumped the old oil into the soap bottle, very easy.
