Refrigerant Oil: Testing and Inspection
Oil Return Operation
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant. During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When
checking the amount of oil in the system, or replacing any component of the system, the compressor must be run in advance for oil return operation. The
procedure is as follows:
1. Open the all doors and engine hood.
2. Air Conditioning switch is "ON" and run the blower motor at "4" (High) position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4. Stop the engine.
