Attention!!! Paxton/Votech guys, the easy way to change your supercharger oil!

[blackbeast12]

When you get your new Paxton / Vortech Supercharger the owners manual calls for you to change your supercharger oil after the 1st 2500 miles, then you can go another 7500 before the next change. Here is the easy quick way:

Step 1: remove your engine cover
Step 2 locate the brass fittings on your supercharger.
step 3: while facing your car remove the one to your furthest right, (dipstick).
Step 4: buy an empty spray bottle ($3.00) place the hose down in the dipstick hole.
Step 5: spray all the liquid into the un-used bottle.
Step 6: put the dipstick back in make sure it reads 0 oil.
Step 7: remove dipstick and fill with 1 3oz bottle of s/c oil.
Step 8: Check your oil level , do not over fill it, if you do remove the excess!
Step 9: button everything up, your done.

The drain plug on these units are in area hard to get at , this way is easier and will take you 15 minutes!

i just put a small hole in the underside plastic and added a longer drain hose to barely reach outside the hole. but the spray bottle is a good idea.

I had to research this online, there are no instructions on the paxton website! Hell i should send the old oil out to be tested....i feel like a chemist with that bottle...lol.

Umm the long 3' braided line is hard to get at? I've changed mine once already and took me about 10 minutes. Interesting concept though, I would be concerned about any particles or contaminants left in the bottom with this method though.

I do t believe thst this could be done with the boss intake. The tb is blocking the dip stick.

It can you just have to remove the piping going to the throttle body.

Another point i want to bring up, is that some of
you guys are saying its not hard to get to the drain plug under the head unit. I'd venture to say that the ones who are saying this installed there own units and made provisions for easier access to the drain plug. i would have done the same thing, but i didn't install my unit, and the way mine is, there's a hose in the way of getting at the drain line. so it just wasn't feasible to have to take everything apart to get to it. This way is the best way for me, and i just wanted to share it to help others if their line is obstructed also!

You should go back and slap the shit out of the guy that did your install because it does tell you to route it down so you can access it later.

My line is sitting right at the panel you drop to change oil, first change 10 mins or less. Need to do my next one in under 500 miles.

 

[blackbeast12]

You know what guys here's my issue, i never bothered to trace where the line ends up... Lol I was thinking you had to drain it from directly under the head unit. Thats where i was saying there was no access.. Lol. But me being a dumb ass led to finding a solution where you don't have to crawl up under your car...lol. I never cease to amaze myself ... Lol!

[blackbeast12]

No in your case go under the car and drain it from the drain line attached to your head unit!

 

[Isshinryu28]

Yea drain I know lol it's the refill part

 

[blackbeast12]

Theres another brass plug on the other side of the head unit that can be used for fill!

 

[Isshinryu28]
