I purchased the genuine oil, which come with a syringe and length of clear tubing, which simply shoves down the filler neck...
Due to purchasing 4 x 50ml cans of the stuff, I had spare syringes, which were used to suck the old gunky black crap out... Makes it easy to measure the 130ml's that it needs to be, good to have some on hand too.

you can buy syringes from any chemist and it shouldnt cost more than $2
there is a dipstick painted yellow located ontop of the supercharger on the opposite side to the engine it isnt the pull type you need to unscrew it.
You need to push slowly on the syringe otherwise it will just spurt out of the hole. My advice would be to buy some clear hose that will fit into the oil hole aswell as fitting onto the end of the syringe. That way you can stick the tube right into the hole and you wont get oil everywhere.
You dont need genuine toyota supercharger oil you can use mobil one holden supercharger oil or as i use fuchs fully synthetic 0w 20 oil.

Indeed there is a drain plug, but seeing as we were also doing this at night, we couldn't be bothered with it. The syringe sucked out 122ml's or so.
The genuine oil I purchased from a contact over at twincam.org, along with some other parts at better-than-aus prices. The oil was about $10 per 50ml kit.

just goto the chemist as said above. $0.75 is what a suitable sryinge cost me. then just a spare length of vaccuum hose.. just drain it out by undoing the plug at the bottom.
im currently running mobil 1 5w30 in there and it works a treat on both gze's

I think only the newer superchargers with the smaller pulley have the yellow wingnut, as the one on my ae92 gze was certainly not yellow and a bastard to get to.
