This supercharger has been factory pre-filled with
special Paxton 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 ship-
ping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of the
supercharger case. Replace the sealed shipping
plug with the supplied “vented” plug. Do not oper-
ate the supercharger without it. Check the super-
charger 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 dipst-
fick 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 per-
formed at 2,500 miles. The supercharger fluid must
be changed at least every 7,500 miles.
Drain the fluid, re-fill the unit with 4oz of
Paxton SL lubricating fluid and then confirm
proper oil level using the dipstick. Do NoT
ovERFiLL!!!
*** NOTE ***
Use of any fluid other than the special Paxton sup-
plied lubricating fluid will void the warranty and may
cause component failure.
