A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Pilot, 2010 Honda Pilot, and 2009 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Recommended PAG oil: DENSO ND-OIL8

Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts.

A/C condenser

(including Dryer

Desiccant).................50 mL (1 2/3 fl.oz)

Front Evaporator.....40 mL (1 1/3 fl.oz)

Rear Evaporator.......30 mL (1 fl.oz)

Line or hose.............10 mL (1/3 fl.oz)

Receiver/Dryer

Desiccant..................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. NOTE: Even if no oil is drained from the removed A/C compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1 2/3 fl.oz) from the new A/C compressor.
