Patriot 2WD L4-2.4L (2009)
compressor is filled with 100 milliliters (3.4 oz.) from the factory. Drain 60 milliliters (2.1 oz.) of refrigerant oil from the new 6SEU16 compressor. Use
the following procedure to drain and measure refrigerant oil from the Denso 6SEU16 A/C compressor.
1. Place the new A/C compressor (2) on a workbench and remove the drain plug (1).
CAUTION: The 6SEU16 A/C compressor is filled with 100 milliliters (3.4 oz.) from the factory. Drain 60 milliliters (2.1 oz.) of refrigerant oil
from the new 6SEU16 compressor when replacing only the compressor.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, see the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be
removed from the new A/C compressor (example: new 6SEU16 A/C compressor and an accumulator requires 60 ml. (2.1 oz.) of oil to
be added to the system. 100 ml. (3.4 oz.) of oil is in new compressor. 100 ml. (3.4 oz.) minus 60 ml. (2.1 oz.) equals 40 ml. (1.4 oz.) oil to
be drained from new compressor).
2. Position the A/C compressor so that the refrigerant oil can drain out of the drain port into a suitable clean measured container. Hold the A/C
compressor in this position until the required amount of refrigerant oil is drained from the new compressor.
CAUTION: Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level prior to installation of a replacement compressor can prevent the A/C system
from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
3. Reinstall the drain plug. Tighten the drain plug securely.
4. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Compressor HVAC/Service and Repair/A/C Compressor -
