A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement
Recommended PAG oil: DENSO ND-OIL 8
- P/N 38897-PR7-A01AH: 120 mL (4 fl.oz)
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the compressor. Too little oil damages the compressor; too much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system, and can produce high vent temperatures.
- To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
- Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
- Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off immediately.
Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts:
A/C condenser.........45mL(1 1/2 fl.oz)
Evaporator...............45mL(1 1/2 fl.oz)
Line or hose.............10 mL (1/3 fl.oz)
Leakage repair.........25 mL (5/6 fl.oz)
A/C compressor.......For A/C compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed A/C compressor from 125 mL (4 2/9 fl.oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new A/C compressor: 125 mL (4 2/9 fl.oz) - Volume of removed A/C compressor = Volume to drain from new A/C compressor.
