COMPRESSOR
- When replacing the compressor and magnetic clutch with a new one, gradually discharge the refrigerant gas from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor and magnetic clutch before installation.
Standard: (Oil capacity inside the new compressor and magnetic clutch: 130 + 15 cc (4.6 + 0.51 fl.oz.) ) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor when replacing)
NOTICE:
- When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions on the cooler removal/installation.
- If a new compressor and magnetic clutch are installed without removing some oil, due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be too large. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigerant failure.
- If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch is too small, check for oil leakage.
- Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil.
COOLER CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
HINT: If the condenser is replaced with a new one, add compressor oil to the new condenser.
Capacity: 40 cc (1.4 fl. oz.)
Compressor oil: ND-8 or equivalent

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • 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.
