Ok, good news fellas. I replaced the oil in the supercharger today in less than a half hour. It took a little more time than it should have as i searched for the right tool, but ends up being a fairly easy change, with the blower left in place. Pull the drain plug, drain, replace, pull the fill plug, make a custom fill hose, lol, and one bottle later, the oil is changed. I was afraid you would not be able to get the fill hole open without dropping the blower, but with a 3/16" stubby allen socket and a flex head rachet, it comes right off. Very good news indeed. Filling it is a little tricky, i used the old transmission fill tactics. Take a bottle of oil, attach a long hose to it. Put the other end in the fill hole. Turn bottle upside down, poke small hole in bottom of bottle. Take compressed air and apply it gently to the hole, and the fluid shoots out of the bottle, through the hose, and into the blower We will still have the optional fill hose available which you can access from the engine compartment, but good to know it isn't absolutely necessary.

Now on to the 3.2L intake pipe.......
