    Hey guys,

    My name is Jeff. I am a long time follower of Grand Prix since my mom, none-the-less, got a GP GT back in 1999. I have recently purchased my first car and yes it is a GP.
    Specs: 2002 Grand Prix GTP, 2 door, Navy Blue Metallic, about 95,000 miles.
    Mods: Just ordered and received clear corners, polished aluminum grilles, and reflective lettering. Also, performing basic maitainance on vehicle for such high miles.
    Future Mods: CAI, downpipe, 3.4" pulley, PCM, 15% tints
    I live near about 30 minutes south of Chicago so anyone in my area let me know.
    Thanks for reading and hope to get to talk to you all soon!

    Thanks everyone!

    ...I have a question...I want to change my supercharger oil and i do not have a pump, I've done a little research and was wondering if anyone knows an easy way to do it without renting or buying a pump. Also, GM dealerships would have SC oil right?

    Welcome to the community.

    Yes, dealerships should have the supercharger oil, you would need two bottles and they run about $8 per bottle. One thing you can do to get the oil out is contact Farnsworth (a member here) and see if he has any of his siphons left.

    If not, go to some place like walmart and see if they have those syringe type devices used in 2-cycle oil mixing. It looks like a syringe with a tube attached. It will work fine for the job. I dont know what they cost there, but check with Farnsworth, he may have them cheaper.
