How do I change the Eaton super-charger oil? Special thanks to airmanb2b on SVTPerformance.com for this write-up. Note that Ford says the factory fill is good for 100,000 miles but if you are using a smaller upper pulley to increase boost you are over-spinning the blower and should change the oil more often.
Parts and Tools Required
1 large syringe (any pharmacy)
8 oz. Mobil 10w30 motor oil - (10W30 recommended by Steigemeier Porting), or use Ford E9SZ-19577-A or GM 1234-5982.
3/16 Allen wrench
2 rags
1 small bowl or cup (to put old oil in)
Approx. 6 inches of clear fish tank hose (any pet department)
First step is to locate the oil drain/fill plug
Use the the 3/16 allen wrench and unscrew the plug. The plug will be tight the first time. Don't worry. Just put a little ass into it. Lay rags under the plug. You will get a bit of oil out. It's inevitable so just let it drain on the rags. Watch how it flows out. That's important later.
Push the hose into the hole as far as it will go and suck out the oil. It will take a bit depending on the size of syringe. Repeat until you get only air. Put oil in cup or bowl.
Once the Eaton is empty, you will have some oil in the hose that you cannot get out. Purge the line with new oil to get the old out of the hose.
Keep filling the syringe with new oil and squirting it into the Eaton until it flows out like it did when you first removed the plug. Should hold about 8oz or so give or take. If you have small fingers, you can stick your pinky in the hole and feel the oil. Should be level with the bottom of the drain/fill hole. Once the oil is flowing out freely and you cannot put anymore in, install the plug. Don't over tighten! Just snug.
