Default greddy supercharger question

ok my question is I know they come with oil inside the supercharger and but do you have to change the oil out every so often or what? and how do you do it if you have to? from what I understand there is no oil pan tapping and stuff like turbo and some superchargers...

superchargers normally have like an oil plug that you unscrew and add or drain the fluid. you dont ave to change it that often as you would engine oil. i would check it like every 5,000 miles.

the whine is there but noticable. once you put an intake the supercharger will whine more than a 3 year old.
