Refrigerant System Service Basics: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Since the electric compressor uses high-voltage, POE oil with high volumetric resistivity should be used.
Do Not use the same A/C recovery/charging station as in conventional belt-driven compressors.
WARNING:
- If PAG oil mixes into the POE oil of the system, dielectric breakdown may occur due to decreased volumetric resistivity and the A/C compressor may not work.
