Change oil in our blowers?

Do we have to change the oil in our superchargers? I dont know if these are self contained or not. If so when and with what type of oil.

The correct part number from GM is #12345982 and is a 4 oz bottle. To refill it takes about 6 oz. Same as what Ford offers but about half the price.

Changed mine initially at 60k and it looked new. Recommended change is every 30k.
There is an allenhead bolt on the front of the S/C housing. Remove that and siphon the old stuff out and add new (kind of a PITA).
