Oil level checking and maintenance 

 

MAINTAIN YOUR SYSTEM! 

The oil and filter change interval of the Rotrex supercharger is 80.000 km / 50.000 
miles or two years, whichever comes first. 

Always keep the oil level between minimum and maximum. 

Overfilling the Rotrex supercharger may cause oil leaks, and too little oil may cause 
severe damage to the unit. 

 

Oil level checking procedure 

Check the oil level using the correct oil level checking procedure as described below. 

 

Set the engine speed between 2 and 3000 rpm. 

 

Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. 

 

Check the oil level while the engine is kept running at 2 

– 3000 rpm. 

 

The correct oil level is between the min and max marking of the dipstick 

measured with the thread of the cap fully engaged. 

 

IMPORTANT! 

The procedure above is the correct and only way to check the oil level (checking the oil 
level with the system turned off does not give a correct reading). 

 

Testing 

Upon completion of the installation, the vehicle must be tested thoroughly. Testing 
should identify any leaks, noise, vibration, improper alignment of belt, overheating or 
other faults in the installation. It should also ensure the engine is running properly with 
the correct air/fuel ratio and ignition timing. Incorrect installation or use of the 
supercharger can cause severe damage to the product and/or the engine.
