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

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 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 register in the cross-

hatched 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 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.
