supercharger oil

I have a 2nd gen supercharger, and I ordered a the TRD oil change kit for it. The instructions say to remove the supercharger for the oil change. I really don't want to spend so much time doing that. Anyone change the oil without removing the supercharger? I assume that oil will spill out if I remove the drain plug. Maybe I could jack the front end up to keep the supercharger at an angle for the oil change.

Just syphon the oil out. You don't have to pull the s/c. There was very little that came out when I changed mine. I syphoned what little there was and then I unbolted and pulled the nose and wiped it all down. Then put the nose back on and refilled with oil.

How many miles do you have on your S/C? I believe that oils lasts for at least 100k w/o need to change.
