tried to do a how to...but after a week it didnt show up so i figured id show u guys this way....my car has 16k on it and figured i would change the s/c oil just bcuz i was bored,
products needed

old oil

new oil notice its actually clear!

 

16k miles... huh? And your running Stage 2...
Further proof that we need to change the SC oil on a given interval. Imagine what that oil would look like if there was a smaller pulley on there...

Good job with the pics! Very informative!

 

yea but ill prolly wait til 50k miles to change mine.. i think manual calls for 100k

 

sweet where did you get the syringe? any auto parts store or did you have to get one from GM?

 

just a regular manual oil removal pump....bought it i think for $20 and used a smaller flexible tube attached to it since the one that came didnt bend enough to get to the bottom of the gearcase

 

What tool did you have to use to remove the drain/fill plug with ? Also, am i correct in the pictures that you use the same whole to both remove as well as fill the super chargers oil ? And lastly , how much fluid did it hold , or should it hold ??

 

Ya... good pictures, but possibly a little more explanation? I know it sucks the mods haven't approved your how to yet... but we appreciate it!

 

sorry lol just threw this up pretty quick...use an allen key to remove the plug on the s/c. not sure of the size, and yes its the drain and fill, just about 2 bottles. basically 7/8 of the second bottle, just fill to the bottom of the plug, when u see oil start flowing out stop adding

 

I have a question, on the dash when you go through the options that say, mpg, trip a, trip b, coolant temp, miles and temp, oil % etc. When it says oil % is that talking about engine oil, or supercharger oil. And when should you change it.

I just bought the car, and it was in the upper 30 but now it says like 28% oil life remaining. Is this to low or what? I am getting the oil changed monday. If i remember right its 5w30 mobile 1 fully synthetic correct?

Also, should i change my supercharger oil, my car only has 18k miles on it. I don't know when it says in the manual to change it, and im to lazy to check, lol, thanks.

 

thats engine oil life, and I would check your oil and see if they maybe changed your oil and forgot to reset it

 

The oil life monitor on the dash refers to the engine oil life itself. The super charger gera oil is seperate from that reading. You are correct on the oil to use , 5w 30 mobile 1 full synthetic , or what ever brand of full synthetic oil you like. I usually change my oil when the monitor gets around the high to mid 40ish percent. It starts lookin dirty around there and i feel compeled to change it !

 

im glad this thread came up, ive never thought about th sc oil i just hit 11k ill wait til 15k to change mine by then i think ill have bought a stage kit
