We have a 14 QX60 Hybrid and I'd like to DIY the supercharger oil change. Only issue is I can't find anything on it. Should be just a plug to drain and refill. Not sure if I'll do the syringe or pilull it and dump. Anyway, what oil should I use?

I use GM supercharger oil in the Manic Miata's Whipple.  I bulb it out through the fill hole and replace it to the level on the little dipstick.

In reply to Docwemple :

I get it over the dealer parts counter, but you could probably order it online.  It's GM branded, I  think, and comes in approximately 4 oz bottles.  There is a Delco version, too.

I seem to recall the GM stuff is the go-to for R53 superchargers as well.  Unfortunately, it's more of a task to replace it.

I used the GM stuff on my MINI too, it's not too expensive and the dealers keep it on hand, so quick and easy to get.

On a MINI you really have to remove the s-charger to change it and refill it properly..... no dipsticks or windows you can check - you put so many oz in one end and so many more in the other - takes 2 bottles for a MINI.

Boy howdy does the used oil stink! New oil is almost as bad!!!!
