A/C Compressor Installation Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Due to the high moisture-absorption characteristics of the compressor oil, it may absorb moisture if left over a long period of time thereby negatively affecting A/C operation. Drain the compressor oil and refill within 10 min of each other.
- Rotate the new A/C compressor shaft 6 to 8 revolutions
while pouring compressor oil into a clean measuring container.NOTE:
- Use this compressor oil to refill the new compressor. Do not allow compressor oil to become contaminated.
- Rotate the old A/C compressor shaft 6 to 8 revolutions while adding compressor oil to a separate, clean measuring container.
- Compare the compressor oil amounts.NOTE:
- The amount of the compressor oil drained from the new A/C compressor should be more than the old one.
- Add the same amount compressor oil drained from the old A/C compressor back into the new A/C compressor.
