Refrigerant Oil
1995 Honda Prelude L4-2.3L DOHCSECTION Refrigerant Oil
Refrigerant:
Capacity, Lbs. 1.38
Type R-134a
Compressor Oil Viscosity [01]
Total System Oil Capacity, Oz. 4.3
Compressor Clutch Air Gap, Inch 0.014-0.026
[01] -- Sanden SP-10, or equivalent.
NOTE:
- Do not return the oil to the container once dispensed and never mix with other refrigerant oils to avoid contamination.
- Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
- Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the car; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
Add refrigerant oil (SP-1O: P/N 38899-P13-AO1) after replacing the following parts:
- Condenser: 10 ml (1/3 fl oz)
- Evaporator: 30 ml (1 fl oz)
- Line or hose: 10 ml (1/3 fl oz)
- Receiver/dryer 10 ml (1/3 fl oz)
- Compressor: For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from 130 ml (4 1/3 fl oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
130 ml (4 1/3 fl oz) - Volume of oil from removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
