- Determine angle at which compressor is mounted. Insert compressor dipstick diagonally until stop on dipstick contacts filler plug surface. See Fig 1 . Remove dipstick and note oil fill level. Each increment on dipstick represents one ounce of oil.
- Determine amount of oil needed according to mounting angle. See COMPRESSOR OIL CAPACITIES (SANDEN) table for specified amount.
- If necessary, correct compressor oil level. Install compressor oil plug, and tighten it to 72-108 INCH lbs. (8-12 N.m). Evacuate and charge A/C system. Perform leak test.
