A/C - Refrigerant and Lubricant Guidelines
SOURCE: KIA Technician Times Volume 7 Issue 5, 2004
TITLE: A/C Refrigerant and Lubricant Guidelines
APPLIES TO: ALL
SERVICE TIP:
Insufficient quantity and/or incorrect specification of refrigerant or lubricant used may cause premature failure of A/C compressors. Please use
refrigerant and lubricant guidelines shown below when servicing A/C systems.
If the A/C components are replaced, add or remove the following refrigerant oil (PAG) as follows:
Components Being Serviced: ........................................................................................................................................................... Required Amount:
Evacuate and Recharge A/C System ................................................................................................................................................. Add 30 grams (1 oz)
Evaporator ...................................................................................................................................................................................... Add 60 grams (2.1 oz)
Condenser ....................................................................................................................................................................................... Add 50 grams (1.7 oz)
Receiver-drier ................................................................................................................................................................................. Add 40 grams (1.4 oz)
Compressor .............................................................................................................................................................................. Remove 70 grams (2.3 oz)
Before charging the A/C system, add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to the A/C system that was removed during the recovery, plus additional
refrigerant oil required from the table.
CAUTION
^
Kia Service Manuals may not list the PAG number shown in the table, however OEM part number ZXL 200PG is equivalent to PAG 100 and
OEM P/N FD46XG is equivalent to PAG 46.
^
NEVER re-use PAG oil, replace with fresh new oil every time. PAG oil absorbs moisture and replacement is always recommended. Use ONLY
recommended type and quantity.
^
When all components are replaced due to compressor break-up with excessive debris in the system, there is no need to add additional PAG oil.
New compressors are shipped with approximately 7 oz of PAG oil.
^
If the oil in the A/C system is lower than the specified amount, compressor durability will be decreased.
