It does have a sight glass.... But I thought it was a Gen 1. Guess not.... Does it have to be to the top of the sight glass or in the middle? Do i check it cold or after a drive once the oil settles?

Once the vehicle has been turned off and the oil is settled, it should be between 1/4 (min) and 1/2 (max). I have mine slightly below the max, which, is halfway up the sight glass.

You should have a bolt with an allen top on the front left (looking from the front of the car) of the s/c. Remove that and fill. Just make sure you wait until the oil has settled. Don't go above 1/2 way as they make a ton of pressure inside and too much oil will cause issues.

If you have to remove some, I use an oil pump. Stick the hose in the hole and pump a little oil. There is not a ton to begin with so don't such too much out right away.

....

I would call Whipple. I would say an EZ - out, however, you do not want to get metal shavings inside the blower.
