This supercharger has been factory pre-lled with special
Vortech synthetic lubricant. Oil does not need to be added
to a brand new unit; however a uid level check should be
performed.
Prior to operating the supercharger on the vehicle and after
installation onto the vehicle:
Remove the factory installed at-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 uid level.
Fluid level checking procedure:
1. Ensure that the .06” copper sealing washer is locat-
ed 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 cross-
hatched 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 uid level using the dipstick at least every 2,500
miles.
Initial supercharger uid change must be performed at 2,500
miles. The supercharger uid must be changed at least every
7,500 miles.
Drain the uid, rell the unit with 4 oz. of Vortech V3 lubricat-
ing uid and then conrm 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.
