Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone had any tips for changing the blower oil for there prochargers.... i "tried" today.... drained the oil, and putting the new oil in was a disaster!
Long story short... all 6oz of the blower oil is now on the ground.... i rigged up alittle funnel and it did not work.... do you guys just shuv your hands right down in there and put the oil in? i couldnt get my hand to fit down there with the bottle.... Is this the reason why ATI gives you a 3 pack of oil? haha...
But any tips would be great. thanks guys.... (this is my first time doing it...)

I just use a very small vac hose. Attach it to the nipple end of the bottle and once I get the hose into the SC I slit a hole into the bottom of the oil bottle.....EMO style, slow and easy.. and then squeeze the whole bottle into the SC.

DanWS6, i hear ya about getting the screwdriver down in there!
i dont have a problem draining the oil... i drained the oil by taking the 5/8" nut off the bottom of the head unit.... putting the new oil back in is where i need help.... i may have an idea though.. i got something from work that might work, i will let ya guys know later how i made out... but i was thinking about filling the oil with a syringe and shooting the oil with a syringe....
also, i was thinking, anybody into RC nitro cars? the fuel bottle that hold the fuel for the cars may work.... (just thinking out loud...)
thanks for all the replies though!

haha, you guys are funny! anyways, i found a setup that worked this time!!
but i started the car up and let it idle for a few minutes and i was looking at the fill screw and noticed some oil bubbling out... not alot, but is this normal? is it just bleeding the air out of the system? i used a clear vacuum line and attached it to the bottle and filled it like that....

Bringing this one back to life...
I use a 1/2 vacuum line with a 4" section of telescoping antenna duct taped to one end of the hose. The section is small enough to fit inside the s/c fill hole. I fish the metal tube into the fill hole and push the bottle into the hose then cut an air hole on the bottom of the bottle. It only takes a minute or so to drain down and I never spill a drop.
