supercharger oil change attempt

okay this should get a good laugh by all you guys that have changed their supercharger oil. So i decided i was going to change mine, i got the gm supercharger oil, and the oil transfer pump with a tube that i THOUGHT was skinny enough. i unhooked the sensor and removed the sc plug and had trouble fitting the tube into the sc. so i ended up getting frustrated because it wouldent feed in easily, so i forced it in there.... about 3 inches in, and it wouldent go in anymore so i was like wtf!. anyway i figured i could go get smaller tubing and try it again. so as i was removing it.... the tube go stuck.... not just a little stuck, but stuck enough to where it took me 45 mins, a pliers, and a flashlight to get it out. so for everyone that is planning on changing there sc oil.... make sure your line is small enough... and dont force it in lol. i havent got smaller tubing yet but im ganna get the smallest available.

sounds like wasted time, effort, and money.

the SC does not require its oil to be changed, nor is there much of a benefit to do so. looks like you learned the hard way.

there's a rule i live by, when working on anything: there's always the right tool for the job, dont make the wrong tool work, it'll cause more headaches than it'll solve.
