OIL FEED AND DRAIN LINES
5.1 OIL FEED AND DRAIN LINES
A. Your Paxton Automotive NOVI 1000 super-
charger uses pressurized engine oil for lubri-
cation. Use an oil sending unit socket (Snap-
On tools; part number 6152 or equivalent) to
remove the oil sending unit on the underside
of the oil filter housing (see Fig 5-a). Install
the supplied brass junction fitting using a
small amount of Teflon paste. DO NOT
USE TEFLON TAPE. Once installed, the
junction fitting should be oriented so that
the opening faces toward the front of the car.
Fig. 5-a
B. Install the oil sending unit in the end of the
brass junction. Install the 90 degree 1/8-inch
to -4 fitting into the side of the brass junc-
tion, and orient this fitting to face towards
the driver’s side frame rail. Attach the sup-
plied length of braided stainless steel feed
line, and route upwards to the 90 degree fit-
ting on the supercharger.
***NOTE***
Be sure to stay clear of any moving parts or coolant
hoses (engine vibration can cause the stainless line
to chafe the rubber coolant hose, creating a leak over
time). Install the line, and tighten moderately—no
sealant is required. (See Fig. 5-b.)

C. Mark the front of the oil pan 1" inch below
the pan rail and between the the two pan rail
bolts, directly in the center of the small
‘hump’. (See Appendix G.) Cover a 3/16-
inch drill bit with heavy grease and drill a
pilot hole (see Fig. 5-c). The grease will
help prevent metal particles from falling into
the pan. Once the hole has been drilled,
insert a straight length of welding rod or
heavy wire (such as a coat hanger) into the
hole approximately three inches to make
sure no interference is encountered. If the
path is blocked, turn the engine over until
the pathway is clear.
