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 per-

formed.
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 unit until 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 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 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

special Vortech lubricant will void the

warranty and may cause component failure.

10. FINAL CHECK , cont’d

Test drive the vehicle.

Always listen carefully for engine detona-

tion. Discontinue heavy throttle usage if

detonation is heard.
