You will see a drain hose coming off the bottom of the SC, we mount the end to the sub frame. Remove the bronze fill plug, open the drain until empty.
Close drain and fill with one bottle of Paxton/Vortech oil and reinstall the bronze fill plug. (4oz)
Done.

Yep!
Not much I can add. Loosen bolt on drain hose.. drain oil. Reinstall. Remove brass fill plug on head unit, add oil. Use dipstick that is made on to the brass fill plug to check level.
I would check the level as you go, as the last time I changed mine I used slightly less than the whole bottle. I try to keep it in the "middle" of the crosshairs on the dip stick instead of the top. At the top I seem to get more oil coming out of the vent which can make a little bit of a mess. Only seems to be an issue when driving it hard
