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 ve-

hicle 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

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.
