Supercharger Oil

Postby AE82 FXGT » Tue Jun 13, 2006 5:51 pm

Hey all, I recently bought a levin gtz. Now I've done all the usuals when I get a new car (oil, air, fuel filters, coolant and the oil itself). Now I've been told that I should change the Supercharger oil, I looked into it and bought some oil (50ml) from Toyota and it came with a syringe some tube and the oil itself. Now after searching these forums and scouring google and looking at the car itself I still can't figure out how to change it.

Little help?

In the pic below you will see the dip stick, and below that is the drain plug, undo, drain the oil out, refit plug and fill with new oil. If you can I would remove the rear housing (Left hand side in the pic) and give it a good clean out as they have a tendency to build up muck in there.

Man, I wish my dip stick was that easy to see.

So when it's on the car is the dipstick on the firewall side of the engine bay?
