What's the recommended service interval on the supercharger oil? My R53 has about 70,000 miles and I've never touched the supercharger.

When I changed my r53 sc oil, I put the front of the car in half maint mode....ie lean the front core support forward I left the sc on the engine and only removed the water pump and that gives room to get at the rear plug
And the front sc plug is easy to get at I think I used some long 3/8’s drive Allen head sockets, can’t remember the plug sizes
I used a small dia rubber hose and injected the oil into the sc
Inject the oil like a turkey
Not sure where I got the inject from but it had oz marked on the side and I got the oil from A local Chevy dealer

Is it's possible to add oil without taking off the whole front end of my R53?
