REFRIGERANT OIL
COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil according to the procedures described below, and then install the compressor.
1. Measure the amount [X ml (X fl. oz)] of oil within the removed compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount = 1OO ml (3.4 fl.oz)
100 ml - X ml = Y ml (3.4 fl.oz - X fl.oz = Y fl.oz)
NOTE: Y ml (Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the evaporator etc.
NOTE: When replacing the following pans at the same times as the compressor subtract the rated oil amount of the each part from Y ml (Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.
Quantity:
Evaporator: 60 ml (2.0 fl.oz)
Condenser: 15 ml (0.5 fl.oz)
Suction hose: 10 ml (0.3 fl.oz)
Receiver: 10 ml (0.3 fl.oz)

- • 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.
