Refrigerant Oil: Testing and Inspection
VERIFY REFRIGERANT ND8 LUBRICANT LEVEL
1. Discharge refrigerant system using a recycling/ reclaiming equipment if a charge is present.
2. Disconnect refrigerant lines from A/C compressor. Cap the open lines to prevent moisture from entering system.
3. Remove compressor from vehicle.
4. From suction and discharge ports on top of compressor, drain lubricant from compressor.
5. Add system capacity minus the capacity of components that have not been replaced. Refer to the A/C Component Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart
above. Add lubricant through the suction and discharge ports on compressor This is not to exceed 150 ml (5 oz.) in total.
6. Install compressor and connect refrigerant lines. Then evacuate and charge refrigerant system.
7. Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed. This amount of lubricant should be added back to the system. If a
new compressor is being installed, drain lubricant from old compressor, measure the amount drained and discard old lubricant. Drain the lubricant
from the new compressor into a clean container. Return the amount of lubricant measured from the old compressor, plus the amount reclaimed
from the system back into the new compressor.
