Think I may have cut up an old oil container to use as a 'guide shute' and collected the waste oil lower down. I'm sure the instructions were in with all the paperwork for the car ? 
It doesn't hold much from memory, which makes the job much easier. |
I read up on the way to drain the oil from the supercharger but I went a different route.
I changed the oil on the supercharger today by using a simple device. I took the pump/spray gun off off a bottle of Elbow Grease. Cleaned it through then inserted the tube from the gun into the s/c through the refill tube, and using the trigger I was able to drain the s/c into a cup. Once out I then refilled the s/c with fresh oil. The car was parked on level ground the whole time.
The s/c oil was last changed in June 2019 or 7,500 miles ago.
