When replacing the suction accumulator/drier, the procedure given here must be followed to make sure that the total oil charge in the system is correct
after the new suction accumulator/drier is installed.
^
Drain the oil from the removed suction accumulator/drier into a suitable measuring container. It may be necessary to drill one or two 1/2-inch
holes in the bottom of the old suction accumulator/drier to make sure that all the oil has drained out.
^
Add the same amount of clean new refrigerant oil plus two fluid ounces to the new A/C compressor. Use only the oil specified.
All A/C compressors used on Ford Motor Company vehicles produced after January 1988 use a unique high quality refrigerant oil. This oil contains
special additives not found in most other refrigerant oils. This refrigerant oil is Motorcraft Part No. YN-12b or an equivalent oil meeting Ford
Specification WSH-M1C231-B. This oil is a mandatory requirement because of the aluminum swash plate used in Ford 10-cylinder compressors. The
use of any oil other than one meeting Ford Specification WSH-M1C231-B could result in reduced suction accumulator/drier life.
