Novi SL UNiTS oNLy

This supercharger has been factory pre-filled with

special Paxton 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 ship-

ping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of the

supercharger case. Replace the sealed shipping

plug with the supplied “vented” plug. Do not oper-

ate the supercharger without it. Check the super-

charger 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 dipst-

fick 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, re-fill the unit with 4oz of

Paxton SL lubricating fluid and then confirm

proper oil level using the dipstick. Do NoT

ovERFiLL!!!

*** NOTE ***

Use of any fluid other than the special Paxton sup-

plied lubricating fluid will void the warranty and may

cause component failure.
