Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil
Level. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C
compressor damage.
CAUTION: The A/C receiver/drier must be replaced if an internal failure of the A/C compressor has occurred. Failure to replace the A/C
receiver/drier can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be
added to the refrigerant system See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level.
NOTE: If only the rear A/C receiver/drier is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use
only the refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
NOTE: Replacement of the O-ring seals is required anytime the A/C receiver/drier is removed. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals may
result in a refrigerant system leak.
