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.
