    A lot of people use turkey basters, bottle sprayers or hand pump siphon systems.

    Its NEVER a bad time to change supercharger oil. It always smells great!

    If it'll give you peace of mind, do it. If you do, after you drain it, you might as well replace the coupler while you're at it. Then you prolly wont ever need to touch it again.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    GM Maintenance guide in your owners manual states to check and change if needed every 30,000 miles... It most likely has never been done, most people don't even know the supercharger snout HAS fluid in it . Do it... Do it now.
