Supercharger Oil?
I searched but there is no definite answer on this. Does the supercharger use its own oil, which never needs to be changed?
Can someone post how the oil pumps (schematics of oil flow?) work so we can finally say case closed?

i believe the supercharger oil is suppose to be life time and can only be taken out if you take apart the supercharger. i believe there's a thread about it some where.

MB does NOT want you to rebuild the SC, so they hammer a plug into the thing instead of offering a screw plug.

other than being time consuming, is it really that difficult to get the sc off? just by looking i can tell you i can have the sc off in an hour! but how do i get the oil out?
Also, there are yellow straw like pipes going to the sc... what is that all about? does everyone else have this or did the previous owner cheap out?
