Is it normal...
.. for the supercharger oil to look like this when it comes out?
Also what might be a reason for the oil level to be down a little, I know it was topped up when i bought the car (year and a half ago) and it was down a little when i opened it up and sucked it out, But i see NO signs of any leaks and was told it could be normal because my uncles car went through alot of oil the same way (93 SSEi)
On a side note, Does anyone have a spare cap/plug for the SC oil fill hole, someone mangled the **** out of mine with the wrong size allen key and it took over half an hour to get mine off

Geez, that looks like mud to me! Well, */c oil probably has a different viscocity, thickness, etc. than regular 10w-30, so I'm not going to try and guess, but that sure does look weird...

PeterG...my Canadian buddy.. that looks about right, does it smell righteous? If so.. all is well in SC oil land.

Make a habit of doing this once a year. In this case, if you didn't perhaps get it all, you might consider another change in the spring.
Or install a nosedrive drain like willwren did.

Having changed my SC oil quite a bit lately..I've found it doesn't stay "clean" very long and yearly changing is the minimum I plan on doing.
