Is a syringe the BEST way to get the oil out of the s/c? I see the hole on the s/c snout where you could place something to remove the oil... how about using a vacuum system and a hose to get the oil out??

Default s/c oil

.......Some of the people on here do have a small pump but most of us
use a old pump spray from a empty cleaner bottle like 409 for instance. After removing the plug with a hex nut driver......insert the
straw end of the trigger pump and spray into a jar or something simular. The old oil will be brown and kinda stinky........

Awesome, GREAT information, Thanks! I'll be picking up some S/C oil from either ZZP or PFYC... I appreciate the help!

The next important question for me: what is kind of oil on a supercharged engine with 50K miles? I want to do the oil change myself (this will be the first oil change since i have purcahsed the car). I did it a handful of times on the LS, but this a S/C SSand it is a performance car and I want better quality all around.

I used an old soap dispenser to get my fluid out- worked pretty well- and I was able to pump it back into the soap bottle for storage until disposal. Plus, the soap pump is designed to handle thick weight liquid.

I used the sprayer/hose part of an old Windex bottle.
