How To: Vortech V-3 Supercharger Oil Change

***IMPORTANT NOTES***
1. Never put more than 4oz (one bottle) of the Vortech V-3 oil in the supercharger. Overfilling the supercharger will result in supercharger bearing failure.
2. Make sure the oil drain line is free of any major kinks or bends. The oil needs to be able to drain from the supercharger as smoothly as possible.

The first fluid change in your V-3 supercharger should be done at 2,500 miles, with each subsequent fluid change at 7,500 mile increments.

In this "How-To" video, we teach you how to properly change the oil in your Vortech V-3 supercharger unit. This same method also applies to our Paxton SL series superchargers.

Fresh oil is hard to see in the dipstick. What’s happens if you overfill the oil by a quarter inch on the dipstick?

[Kalanioccc]

do you sell replacement crush washers/seals?

I’ve had a Vortech supercharger put on my 350 Z in December my engine light just came on last night you don’t think there’s a chance that the oil leaked out of it do you/has this ever happened?

Does oil get forced out of the vent plug during normal usage on a V3? betwen my vent plug & dipstick you can see basically dried oil...like a film covered in dust. I checked the dipstick and there's no oil on it cold. Been bout 3k miles since i last changed the oil. Do i need to warm it up before checking the oil?

[JohnDoe-jnes]

🤔... does angle effect amount can put in and register on dipstick.. ?

[matthopkins]

Do you have to change the crush washer every change?

[sainvil]

I have 05 Mustang gt with v3 si, no intercooler, running on stock engine but with APR 156 -4301 head studs. so what's the safest rout to gain most power without blew my engine? some say 9-10 psi, and max 500whp. but this is the maximum risky power you can get, would you say 9psi, at around 450whp is safer to have fun with? mine blew up, Ford mechanic think previous owner changed either crank pulley or supercharger pulls to create 19psi.

do you have a supercharger kit for a 2008 Silverado 1500 6.0L 4x4??

[lylegoodluck]

I want one for my silverado. Can I run it on stock injectors? Wouldn't it be better to have a inner cooler? Is there a turbo without the 90? To add inner cooler easier. Do u have a video explaining everything for 5.3 siverado?

[sorensenscott]

my kit came with some oil. Is there an time that its good use before it goes bad? its been on a shelf in a cabinet for a few years.

[joeyofblades]

If I don't drive 7500 miles per year, what's a good time interval to change the oil?

[KC-wzpo]

Installed a new Self Lubricated Paxton, and just changed the oil for the first time at 2500 miles. However, before reaching the 7500 mile mark for the next oil change, I noticed the oil is a bright milky pink instead of the magenta red it normally has after checking the dipstick. Is this normal or is it a problem? Do I need to change the oil right away now, or can it wait till the 7500 mile mark? What is causing the oil to be bright milky pink? Water condensation? If so, how to get rid of it or does it happen from time to time normally?
