[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 7347618, member: 76381"] ok i did the swap last night. I wiggled the syringe/tubing into as many crevaces of that blower as I could find. Varying the distance I went it. I measured what came out and it was about 7.75 ounces. bad news...couldn't get over 6.5 back in! :shrug: it kept coming back out. I recapped the plug, turn the motor over to allow the blower to spin, let it settle for half an hour and tried again. Oil came releasing out of the fill hole. I squeezed as much back in as possible, resealed the plug fast! Checked it the next morning, fluid came oozing out before I had unthreaded the plug all the way. Resealed her :shrug: I've romped on the car and the blower sounds just fine. Same as before. I'm thinking the factory fill is probably a little bit "overfull", as I've not seen or heard any blower damage. Car runs great. My only thought was to possibly drive the front wheels on ramps and change the angle of the car, possibly allowing the inside level to slide below the fill hole and allow more in. :shrug: fug...sucks being the paranoid type :poke: :cryying: [/QUOTE]
