First Oil change with a supercharger
Been seaching this topic with no luck.
Recently purchased an 03 Z06 with an A&A Vortech V7 YSi trim kit.
Did my first oil change this weekend
The lubricating oil is sourced from the motor.
Do I need to add extra oil as part of my oil change or does the oil remain in the head unit and is just pumped out and replaced on the next startup?
I added 6.5 qts and the dipstick level looks fine.
Thanks in advance
I did find this on the vortech site:
What type of maintenance is required with a Vortech supercharger system?
Follow the vehicle owners' manual recommendations for your vehicle. We do ask that you change your engine oil at regular intervals because the engine oil cools and lubricates the supercharger gears and bearings. When changing your oil, remove and clean the oil inlet fitting and strainer. For severe duty or racing, it is suggested that you install an oil cooler and filter. We suggest following the manufacturers recommendations concerning oil type and oil change interval. You can use mineral based, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oils with a Vortech supercharger system as long as the oil meets or exceeds vehicle manufacturer recommendations.
