12.1. FINAL CHECK, CONT'D
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 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 lubricat-
ing 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.
