Default changing Procharger F1 oil...

I am chaniging the oil on my F1 and I am wondering if there is a way or anyone know of a trick to change the oil without taking it off the bracket? Is there a way to suck the oil out of the blower while it being mounted. I've change it before but taking the blower down, i know this is pure laziness of my part.

Dipstick on top uses a flat head screwdriver to remove. the drain plug i think is 5/8. It has a magnet on the plug that needs to be cleaned

Is there enough room to get the bottle over the top of the blower so you can fill it up? I haven't done my first oil change on my D1SC, but it's about that time.

I have, but when I filled it, the radiator wasn't in the car. So, with the radiator, I have no idea how much room I'll have to work with.

On my D1 I drained same as you drain oil from the oil pan (remove the plug).

To fill I used a small funnel with a long snout. It's pretty much straight down into the filler hole on a D1. If you can see it - you can fill it.

And if that doesn't work you can always attach a hose to the funnel sticking the end of the flexible hose tubing into the blower. Most time consuming for me was to not over fill it. It seemed as if not all of the oil is removed when draining.

The manual explains exactly how to drain and fill.
