    So, I guess, after looking at the 2nd bottle I used, there is probably close to two ounces left in it.

    its $5 for a bottle of GM oil at the dealership here IIRC. Even if it was $10 a bottle it'd still be cheaper to buy it locally.

    Little hint to get the old oil out... use the sprayer from a spray bottle. Stick it in the bolt hole and squirt the old oil into an empty bottle. Works like a charm.

    search it on youtube, there is a good 'how to' on changing the supercharger coupler, it shows how to get the oil out and everything.

    Like the owner's manual says, I've only ever topped off the oil (I do it yearly) but changing it out with fresh fluid makes more sense to me. So how often do y'all change it out? 30K mi?

    check it yearly, if it smells quite horrible then its probably time for a change....

    Considering the average differential fluid changing intervals.

    Aside from smell is there any kind of interval that people commonly follow for this?

    I can handle that. Anyone else do anything different (if so, why?)?

    I've got a question for you guys. I'll be changing my aunts Supercharger oil very soon here. She has 134K miles on her car (2006 Grand Prix GT) and she's never changed it yet. Is the coupler the same size as the one in the YouTube video? (YouTube - Replacing a worn out supercharger coupler on 3.8 GM engines) Figured I might as well as change that too.
