MX5 – Eaton M45 Supercharger Oil Change

(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in April 2016)

As the charger is off the car I took the opportunity to change it’s oil.  The kit was bought from eBay.

The Allen key required is an imperial size, 3/16″.  If you are planning on doing this make sure you have this exact size. A metric 4mm might feel like it fits ok but it won’t when you find out how tight the plug is.
