Need help with supercharger oil
So ok I went out this morning to try and change it before we left to do easter stuff Happy Easter everyone by the way! Anyways I'm haveing trouble with getting the screw out to change the oil. I'm pretty sure its never been done if I had to guess. Just to clarify while standing in the front of the car which way do you torque it to get it out to the passenger or driver side? Maybe I was beign to gental but I was worried if I cracked too much I could crack the nose or something? Any help on how to make this easier to get out would be appreciated.

yeah passengers side. just make sure you take your time! i almost dropped mine down the engine bay lmao. make sure you keep a rag handy and try to block off underneath the screw incase is manages to fall it can catch it! dont get frustrated with it either! just keep trying! and i wouldnt recommend putting any break cleaner or anything on it to get to slip loose. use the allen wrench and if you have a little pipe, slide that on the allen wrench for a little leverage. hope this helps!

I got the alan wrech key set which sadly means its attched to a cheap plastic handle. anyway I am going to try it agian sometime this week. By the way how much does it take I've heard a little over 1 and a half bottles. I got a magnetic tool too to grab it if I drop it but I'm hoping I don't lol

Great to know! I have two bottle but everyone seems to say soemthing different and I don't want to overfill it right? Anyway I'm pretty sure its never been changed before since its so tight in there and it has 77,777 miles as of right now so it needs to be done.

I was told to fill it up to the bottom of the threads of fill hole , I have had no problems with both supercharger's ..

Lefty loosey righty tighty
Make sure you have a squirt bottle head & tube to get the oil out, and it's gonna smell horrible btw
When you fill, fill it to the bottom thread of the piece you removed to access the oil (takes almost 2 bottles of GM fluid, I think ZZP sells their branded crap that's the exact amount you need)
