For internally lubricated V3 units only
This supercharger has been factory pre-filled with spe-
cial 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 sup-
plied “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 super-
charger unit 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
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 spe-
cial Vortech lubricant will void the war-
ranty and may cause component failure.
