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
shipping 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
supercharger unit it seats.
3. Once the dipstick has seated,
remove the dipstick from the unit.
Fluid should register in the cross-
hatched area on the dipstick.
4. DO NOT OVERFILL!!! Drain
excess fluid 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 lubricant will void the warranty
and may cause component failure.
