STR blower oil change question

STR blower oil change question
Hey everyone,
I was just thinking when is it a good time to change the blower oil on the STR? Also could someone explain where the filler plug for the blower is and the procedure involved, ex, which blower oil to use?. Mine isn't leaking, but I was thinking since I'm getting close to the 100k mile mark, I should swap out the blower oil with a fresh one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Update: OKay I did a bit of searching around and I found this thread stating they used "GM SuperCharger Oil" for the EAton M112 Supercharger;GM p/n: 12345982 , this can be purchased at any GM dealership

My only problem now is locating the dam filler plug on the blower???, any help on how to reach it would be much appreciated

Hi BFS, my STR isn't leaking blower oil, but I called up EATON and they recommended every 100k to refresh the blower oil to keep it well maintained.

Please get the JTIS (Jaguar Technical Information System) disc off EBay. They are less than $10 shipped. This will be the best $10 you ever spend on the Jag!!! The JTIS has a nice diagram of the super charger filler plug. Be aware that it takes a BIG Allen wrench!!
Yes the oil should be changed somewhere around 60K miles. You can use the GM or Ford part number as well as Jaguar. The cheapest will be the kits sold on EBay.
If you search there have been long discussions about which oil to use. You can also use some special BP made turbine oil. Which is used in commercial jet engines. A quart of that is about $20 on EBay.

I did not know the SC was a scheduled service item. I will look again but I did not notice this in the service section of the owners manual. Makes sense though...
I just turned over 50K last week so this will be something I can look forward to doing to my STR in the Spring. It is too cold and snowing today in Maryland to even think about doing it now.

If anyone is seeing oil leaking from the blower I can just about guarantee you'll be needing more than an oil change. It's usually bye bye coupler, bye bye bearings, and bye bye seals before the oil finds its way out.
How many fluids does the Jag use
Motor Oil
Transmission Fluid
Supercharger Oil
Brake Fluid
Differential Oil
Power steering Fluid
Radiator Coolant
Washer Fluid
A/C Refrigerant
Gasoline
What am I missing?
