14. FINAL CHECk
Fig. 14-a / Final Check
For internally lubricated V3 units only
This supercharger has been factory pre-filled with
special Vortech synthetic lubricant. Oil does not
need to be added to a brand new unit; however a
fluid level check should be performed.
Prior to operating the supercharger on the vehicle
and after installation onto the vehicle:
Remove the factory installed flat-head brass
shipping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of
the supercharger case. Replace the sealed ship-
ping plug with the supplied “vented” plug. Do not
operate the supercharger without it. Check the
supercharger fluid level.
Fluid level checking procedure:
1. Ensure that the .06” copper sealing washer
is located on the dipstick base.
2. Thread the clean dipstick into the unit until
it seats.
3. Once the dipstick has seated, remove the
dipstick from the unit. Fluid should register
in the crosshatched area on the dipstick.
4. DO NOT OVERFILL!!! Drain excess fluid from
the unit if it is above the maximum level on
the dipstick.
Check the fluid level using the dipstick at least
every 2,500 miles.
Initial supercharger fluid change must be per-
formed at 2,500 miles. The supercharger fluid
must be changed at least every 7,500 miles.
Drain the fluid, refill the unit with 4 oz. of Vortech
V3 lubricating fluid and then confirm proper oil
level using the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!
WARNING: Use of any other fluid other
than the special Vortech lu-
bricant will void the warranty
and may cause component
failure.
