You mean you are not supposed to for an oil change, spOOner? That's going to save me a hell of a lot of time next o/c

I hope not as well. That filter housing is accessable with the right tools and a little paitence with out removing the blower.

Me? I'm assuming you meant Vita? I sure didn't unbolt it.

I didnt' unbolt the supercharger when I did my oil change. I unbolted the fill tube for the intercooler to give me more room to work. The filter change was the easiest part of the oil change only took like 3 mins.

Yeah, sorry meant Vita.

I really hope he is not removing the s/c for an oil change, personally. That would kinda be like dropping the gas tank from the veh to fill with gas.

i was told by saturn that's how to do it. i haven't. i'm just wondering what is another way

1. Get a 32mm socket and a 10" extention.
2. Remove two bolts out of the intercooler filler tube to make more room to reach the filter
3. Put the socket on the top of the oil filter cap.
4. Put the extension down behing the supercharger into the socket.
5. Unscrew filter cap, replace filter, and retighten.

Simple as that. It may look hard at first but it's pretty easy.
