Hello all. A local mini club member informed me that there is a sc kit out that allows one to change the fluid from the top of the engine, by installing fittings where the drain plugs are. It is from MBKPerformance. Has anyone mounted/used this kit? Seems that I have read that the oil level on 1 end of the sc is higher than the drain plug level when the sc is sitting on the engine. Sorry I am not competent enough to post a link. Any thoughts?

 

you will need to pull the supercharger off, pull the water pump off, remove the two plugs, drain the old oil out, then fill with the proper oil and amount.....don't just "top off" the oil in the supercharger......you don't know the condition of the oil that is still in there

Might as well put a new water pump on while it's all apart......

I have never heard of a special "kit" to do this from the top of the engine compartment

Yessir, I am aware of the process to do it, and will make sure and change out a few things when I finally do, not just yet though. The kit I mentioned is not something I have seen before. He replaces the drain plugs with fittings with hoses attached to be able to change the fluid anytime one would want to, using a syringe in the upper hose to the top of the fitting and then pulls the plug out of the lower hose to drain the oil to the proper level. One would still have to pull the sc to get the fittings and hoses installed, could be a handy thing to do. I thought I saw that, I believe it was the snout end, the oil level sits higher than the drain plug when sitting level. Just seeing if anyone has used this setup.

 

I also think this is a pretty good idea. Doesn't seem to be too many people that have bought it posting about it however. Would make checking/maintaining supercharger oil very easy it seems.
