Southern california club grand prix has a great step by step with picture
thats www.ccacgp.com under mods twards the bottom of the page.
Mods is located to the left of the first page.

To take it out I used a turkey baster and some medical rubber tubbing that was just big enough to fit snuggly over the baster.

Be aware the used oil will probably make you gag it is by far the smelliest fluid i have ever smelled come out of a car.

It cost me about 20.00 bucks

.Changing oil supercharger

By Big-L



Parts:

You will need two bottles of GM supercharger oil, GM p/n: 12345982

Tools:

Old Spray bottle w/pump

Short fish tank hose about 12" long - needs to fit over the end of spray pump,and the other end in the s/c housing.

3/16 Allen wrench

NOTE: Make sure that your engine is cool before starting this and is on level ground!

1.You can first start by removing the cover.Remove the center nut and set in a safe place,then lift up the cover and tip it back to release from the rear bracket.

2.Next remove the 3/16 allen head plug and set aside with the cover nut.

3.Insert the tube that's attached to the spray pump into the hole of the S/C housing,and pump out as much oil as you can inside the housing into the old spray bottle.This may have to be done a few times moving the hose around,to remove as much of the oil that you can. Dispose
of your old/used oil with your old motor oil in an environmentally SAFE manner.

4.Add the new oil until it fills the snout to the bottom of the threads. It will take almost two bottles. Be careful to NOT overfill!

5.Screw the plug back in and do not over torque.

Now you have just done an oil change on the SC

You always do well. It's the crayons that mess everything up.

It's a good site. All but the "post who-e" post they do. They don't post too much. But all willing to help. I'm still waiting for the one guy that said he would come over to work on my car to show up. I have this feeling he doesn't know where I live.
