S/C Oil

Car has 60k and was thinking maybe I should change S/C oil. Problem is... wth am I doing lol

You are removing the plug on teh snout with an allen wrench.
Then you are taking a spray bottle apart and inserting the tube into the snout
Then you are spraying the old fluid into the bottle
Then you are adding about 8oz of new fluid into the snout
And then you screw the plug back in with the allen wrench.

Okay, I'll take a stab at this assuming you are asking how you change the oil in the supercharger snout.

If you look on the snout of your blower you will see a plug that can be removed using a allen wrench I believe it is, but what size I do not recall. You will have to suck out the oil in there somehow. You can use a 2-cycle oil mixing syringe and would probably be the best choice. Be prepared that stuff stinks like nothing you have ever experienced in your life.

You'll need two bottles of GM supercharger oil. When you get the old fluid sucked out, clean the syringe as best you can and you can use that suck up the new fluid and then pump it into the fill hole or if you have a funnel that small you could probably use that. It will take about all of both bottles to fill it up. It will need to be filled to the bottom of the fill hole. Then re-install the plug, but dont tighten it too much or else you will have problems getting it out again down the road.

I just changed mine out yesterday. It is very easy, but also very smelly. Definitley the worst smell I have ever encountered.

Take some advice... Breathe through your mouth!

it will clear your nose for sure!!!

smells like millions of dirty diapers

I changed my oil a few months ago, and either my nose was stuffed up, or going through three kids has desensitized me to dirty diaper smell, but I don't remember it stinking to bad. I know it was dirty, as it looked like used vegetable oil coming out and was clear going in.

I can assure you it stinks to high heaven. My wife wont even come out in the garage when I mess with the stuff.

It used to stink really-really bad for me, but now that I am around it as much as I am, it doesn't smell any worse than changing used motor oil.

Here is a handy-dandy tool I created back in 2001 for this service, and when I showed others, they liked the idea, so I made several more and offered it to them. Simple to use, and less of a mess than a spray nozzle and a pump handle, and its reusable. Everyone likes them...


so much in fact...a certain vendor has again copied another innovative idea for their own profit, and are selling a "kit" on ebay with an included syringe with in.

Huh...odd isn't it.

That smell is worse than the nastiest, rankest fart ever blown out of someone's ass. It was in my gargae for a couple of days after the SC oil change
