Changed the supercharger oil today

[tonydahose]

i tried to the other day but i couldnt get the tube to go down once it went inside the supercharger. i am sure not the first one to figure this out but i thought i'd post up some pics in case some of you haven't seen it. i took some 12 guage copper wire, not the stranded stuff, the solid kind. i stripped the wire off of it and put it into the tube. i bent it at a 90 degree angle about an inch in and then fed it into the hole and down it went. i held the tube in place and then pulled out the wire. then i just hooked up a syringe and sucked out the old oil. i think it took 10 minutes tops. like i said, i am sure this has been done before.

When i did mine last season, I used a Windex spray nozzle off an old bottle and stuck that in there and sprayed the old oil into the empty bottle. Took a couple minutes to get it all out.

My oil was dark and smelled like shit.

That stuff always smells like crap. I try to make sure I get as little on me as possible, just like changing rear diff oil.

How many miles did you guys have when you changed that oil?

I had 26K and change, and it looked dark and thick. With a smaller pulley it should be changed every 20K miles or so. Stock, Ford recommends every 50-60K miles i think.

Did the same thing with a Windex spray nozzle. That works well.
Changed the oil at about 37K miles and it looked perfectly clean and had no smell at all. I was tempted to just put it all back in.

Almost every supercharger oil change I've read about, the stuff comes out dirty and smelly. I wonder what kind of magic oil I have?
