Refrigerant Oil Adding Capacities
NOTE:
Rotate the A/C compressor shaft at least 6 to 8 turns when draining the refrigerant oil.
| Item | Milliliters |
|---|---|
| A/C condenser core and desiccant bag | Add 25ml oil |
| A/C evaporator | Add 35ml oil |
| A/C compressor | 1. Drain old A/C compressor. With drain plug removed and ports uncapped, rotate shaft to remove A/C compressor oil and measure the amount of oil captured. 2. Drain new A/C compressor into a clean vessel. With drain plug removed and ports uncapped, rotate shaft to remove oil. Then add back a quantity of the new oil that is identical to the quantity of oil removed from the old A/C compressor. However, if this quantity is less than 30ml, then make it up to 30ml. |
| A/C lines - if air conditioning has been operational. | Add 5ml oil per A/C line |
| A/C system after flushing - with new compressor installed | No oil should be used- new oil in new compressor is sufficient |
| A/C system after flushing - without a new compressor installed - remaining A/C compressor oil is to be drained. Compressor and expansion valve must not be flushed (removed from the circuit) | Add 110ml oil |
| A/C compressor drain plug | Torque 12Nm |
