^got ya covered.



Its easy, there are many ways to do it.

If were talking about using my syringe method, its pretty much cut and dry.

On a cool motor...

1.) Remove snout plug.
2.) insert hose thats attached to the syringe into hole
3.) pull back and start sucking it out till syringe is full.
4.) remove hose from snout, and insert into a empty spare bottle with a lid (old water bottle for example) and push the syringe plunger so your dumping the old oil into the empty bottle.

repeat this as many times as it takes to empty the snout of its oil. It may take 3 to 4 times.

you will suck air when its empty, but keep sticking the hose on into the snout in different areas to get as much as you can, but you wont be able to get it all don't worry.

5.) time to refill, using two bottle of the GM supercharger oil, start squeezing onto the hole in the snout you have been sucking out of. It will take all the fluid from both bottles, and sometimes you may have some left. You cannot over fill it, but you can under fill it so make sure your using both bottles.

The fill line is to the bottom of the threads for the plug in the snout. Using a flash light if the light is bad, you can look inside the snout and see where the fluid level is as you go.

6.) reinstall plug, and your done.

I have also done this with a simple spray bottle...

Heh, I should have thought of the syringe idea before... seems so much easier.
