    Unscrew the plug out of the nose use a vacuum pump or something similar to suck all the old oil out then replace it with 2 new bottles of supercharger oil replace the plug an your done. Heres a link to another method you can use if you dont have a vacuum pump available to use. If you wanna use one though you could probably rent one at your local autoparts store.

    Used S/C oil is in the top 5 most disgusting odors i have ever smelt. Howd i get mine out? My friend insisted on trying to siphon it out and got a nice mouthful. Even after a few cans of coke he said the taste was still in hos mouth. The remaining i got out with the old Windex bottle top as recommenced above.

    do you have to get the s/c oil from a dealer or do they have it at a parts store?
