Compressor

The compressor performs two main functions:

It compresses low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into high-pressure and high-temperature refrigerant vapor to the condenser.

It pumps refrigerant and refrigerant oil through the air conditioning system.

This vehicle is equipped with a five-vane rotary compressor.

The specified amount of the compressor oil is 150 cc (5.0 fl.oz.).

The oil used in the HFC-134a system compressor differs from that used in R-12 systems.

Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to the compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing two or more different types of oil.

If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and the compressor will seize or malfunction. The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof type.
