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 per-
formed.
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 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 performed 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.
