10K...LOL. Just drive the car more.

Follow the normal vehicle maintenance. However, you should change your oil and plugs more often. Every 3k miles, I change my oil, oil filter, and spark plugs (copper). I have a self lubricated blower so I change the blower fluid every 1k miles.

As said above just follow regular maintenance. Except no need to change plugs every 3k unless you are not longer running lasers. If using coppers than yeah every 3k is correct. Check belt condition and tightness.
Make sure afr's are good. Vortech's can run pretty damn lean.

i have the selb lube 1220 from SOS and dont you think that changing the blower oil every 1k is overkill?

^^^It may be so, but mine failed at 11k miles following the recommended oil change intervals. After 5 weeks of downtime waiting for my blower, I'll follow my own interval moving forward.

It's been a while since I got rid of my Vortech blower. But there is a little filter that sits on the inlet oil feed that I would blow out with compressed air. Doesn't have to be done every 3K miles but I did mine close to every 10K miles.

I did it the first 2 times at 3K miles and it was clean. I man if you change oil regularly there's no reason why it should clog up anyway, but should be checked periodically though.

Unless Vortech revised this. Maybe current Vortech owners can chime in. I noticed this wasn't mentioned in the replies so far...

Are there oil lines going into it? If so then it is not self lubricated. If there are not any oil lines going to the blower then it is the self lubricated version.
