Draining Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: Drain and measure as much of the refrigerant oil as possible from the removed compressor.
  1. Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into a clean, graduated container.

    Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
