I made this to put oil in. I was wondering what everybody else does to make changing the oil easier.Also, when you check the oil, do you screw the dipstick in or just push it in then pull to check?[IMG][/IMG]

I screw in the dipstick to check level. Is it just me or does the Procharger oil smell like rotten a$$?

Mine holds pressure too, its normal.

And yes, the oil reeks. First time I smelled it I didn't know what it was. I didn't realize it was the blower oil, I'm looking all over my workbench for whatever could smell like that.

My d1 doesnt hiss when I unscrew the dipstick. and I just drain the old stuff and add the new. I think its kinda hard to read the dipstick.

All the prochargers Ive ever had have retained a small bit of pressure... I am pretty sure its normal.
