One doesn't exist, but I say it's not a bad idea every 50K or so. When I did mine it wasn't full and the oil was definitely well used.

but the video doesnt show the removal of the bolt. i used a reg metric 5 to break it loose, then had a magnet extension and place it at the top of the bolt while i backed it out with the ball tip hex extension.

Anyone that is fitting a throttle body kit or is removing the supercharger for any reason its worth changing the oil at the same time if its been a while. It's not a difficult job when in situ but its even easier when the superchargers off.

Do you have to worry about over-filling, or is that why the hole is located where it is? Just fill to the top of that hole?

If there's enough left in the can for two changes, I might do a flush with the first change to get all the old gunk out.

If you overfill it will seap through the pulley bolt, not a big deal but will make your underhood dirty and greasy..

i have overfill the sc and now the oil is seaping through the pulley bolt, but does it seap also to the clutch? cause i am seeing a slippage and boost drop and can't go max boost, even i opened the small bolt and took out the excess oil and i am still having a clutch slippage, i need a new pulley/clutch assembly!

nooo your good just keep an eye on it, clean it every time you open your hood and soon as there is no more to come than it will just dry out and be fine. Clean w.e you think it went on. you'll be fine

Your supercharger clutch is probably saturated with oil hence the slippage... Over filling is not a good thing if you got seals in there. You might want to go through it once over to make sure you didn't rupture any seals or it could just leak again.
