I'm going to get a lot of heat for asking this question again,but honestly can someone suggest whats the easiest way to get access to the Super Charger filler plug? I should have changed out the oil when I was doing the Pulley upgrade,but now that I think about it,its very important just like any oil change the SC oil needs to be replaced even though it says sealed for life, just like the tranny fluid.

Thanks.

Update: I do realize that the 03-04 Mustang Cobras have the same EAton M112 Supercharger as our STR's, so I pulled up a pic of one Mustang and the location of the filler plug. But on ours its way down under, do I have to remove the Coolant Expansion tank to get access to it or anything else?

It has been covered multiple times ... with pictures. There is definitely a long thread in the X308 section. On a 2001 XJR, there is no removal of parts other than the plug itself.

Thanks; after doing a google search for "XJR supercharger oil change" I found a thread started by you "Supercharge oil change notes" https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...e-notes-57136/

Also this link for pics of Supercharger oil change https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ge-pics-60260/

**Atleast now I have an idea where to look for the SC filler plug on the STR. HOpe its as easy as the XJR's to get to. Will update once its finished.

Plums why don't you add this info in the FAQS section, its something important that we STR owners overlook to do.

Cheers!
