I've been on J-body and Quad4, but I still can't figure out how much oil to put in this thing. I see everything from 4.5 to 8 ounces. I was only able to drain 4oz from mine, even after letting it sit on it's nose for 45 minutes and rotating the impeller a few times to try to release any more oil. Did the blower burn 4oz of oil after 40k miles, or does it only take 4.5oz? I just need to know how much to put back in there.

according to this post quoting eaton it would be 8oz (2 4oz bottles) for a complete oil change:

and once again it says one 8oz bottle will completely fill the SC to the proper level.

Still throws me off, because those state M45. From what I've seen from eaton there is an M45 and an MP45. Different generation blowers I believe.
