I have the V2 version and it has a separate oil line, unlike the V1 version that uses oil from the engine. Thus, you will have to use the oil from Vortech for the S/C.

According to Vortech and VF-E, using non approved S/C oil will void your Vortech S/C warranty. As for engine oil ruining your S/C, not sure, but the consistency of the S/C lubricant is quite different than my Mobil 1 0w-40.

My WAG is because Vortech knows what it is talking about. For some reason engine oil is unsuitable for use in their supercharger.
