Changing the oil in a SN92?
Should I just turn it upside down or what to get the oil out? And how much should I add back in? Would you guys recommend Trick Shift?

When I had my SN, I would either turn it over and drain it (but turn it over several times and at different angles to get more fluid) or as some one on this board pointed out, you can change the fluid with the unit on the car with a windex (or whatever) spray top with the pickup tube placed into the dipstick hole and spraying the paxton fluid into a container. That is very useful since if you are at the track all day you probably want to change the fluid at least once. Trick shift worked great for me. The only place I could find it was Autozone for $3.99.

Paxton recommended thier tool, which was as he discribed it, "a turkey baster with a longer tube on the end to get down into the bottom of the blower".
We can get trick shift @ Pep Boys here in So Cal.

Yep, go to the grociery store, or raid your wifes, or your moms kitchen and get a turkey baster. Then take it with you to the auto parts store and buy some steel brake tubing that will fit tightly up into the nozzle of the turkey squirter. You probably will need to cut the flared end off of the end of the tubing. stick it in the baster and secure it with a nylon wire tie or two. Cut the tube to the desired length and then you will have a genuine artificial Paxton oil change device for about $200.00 cheaper than what they probably charge for it.
