will do, how much does it take and where can i buy it? Don't see any on stillens page. I saw a couple videos of other types of s/c oil being changed. Ill have to find the drain on this one
This should be your drain plug, an MP62 S/C takes 8oz of fluid you can usually buy it from your local GM or Toyota dealership since they have models that use the same supercharger. Get a new spray bottle, unscrew the bottle and stick the straw end of the sprayer down in the hole and "spray" the old oil out into the bottle. Make sure you ran the engine for a few minutes before you do this because you need that oil to thin out a bit or it won't pump worth a damned.

damn good post as its been over 12 years since i got rid of my stillen and could not remember.
It's SUPER easy to change the gear oil on a supercharger because there's only a tiny bit, if you unbolted the nose cone you can see the two gears that mesh the rotors together, that's literally all the oil does and is one of the major reason a twin-screw supercharger is popular for OEM applications, they're INCREDIBLY simple mechanical devices. Plus they give gobs of low end torque compared to a centrifugal and everyone loves torque...
If I was to S/C my G in the future I would use a Stillen because it wouldn't be about getting big numbers but rather just adding torque at the low end with a very reliable piece of equipment. The only major downside to the MP62 on this motor is it doesn't fit well and you need the hood modified for clearance.
