Hello again all. I successfully just changed out the hub on the driver's side and now it runs real smooth with no vibration. Next step is to change the supercharger fluid. I have not done this before and am hoping to get some advice from some fellow GTP'rs. I know its overdue for some maintenance, so please, if anyone has any relavant information, it would help alot.

Make/Model - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Miles - 120k

I was told it might be best to just take it to a dealer but like everyone else I don't wanna spend an arm and a leg. What type of fluid is best? About how long? Any certain thing I need? Thanks in advance.
 


its very simple. unscrew the hexhead ??? in the supercharger on the front side and stick a squerter from a windex bottle or something down in the hole and simple squert it out into something. then poor some supercharger oil in it. you can get some from gm, some people just use gear oil. your choise.
 
Dealers typically won't change the fluid. Some might.

I went to Wal-mart, bought a turkey baster for like $1.30 and put a piece of vaccum line on the end of it. I can suck almost all the fluid out at once. Then add the new GM stuff. Quick and very easy.
 
Haha my dealership told me they'd do it for $600 since the ONLY way to remove it was taking off the supercharger. I instead just bought 2 pts and did the windex squirter method
 




Yeah fill it to the bottom of the threads, 2 bottles to cover it, I used the Windex Squirter method as well...Easy job...$600!!:th_laugh-pointup:..hahaha..did they try to sucker money out of you.
 
I paid $7.50 each when I bought two (2) 4oz. bottles. I used all 8 oz. when I changed mine out.

The smell stank up the whole shop - it's horrible.
