Rapid refrigerant discharge
When the air conditioning system is involved in
accident damage and the circuit is punctured, the
refrigerant is discharged rapidly. The rapid discharge
of refrigerant will also result in the loss of most of the
oil from the system. The compressor must be
removed and all the remaining oil in the compressor
drained and refilled as follows:
1. Gravity drain all the oil, assist by rotating the
clutch plate (not the pulley).
2. Refill the compressor with the following amount
of new refrigerant oil:
V8 up to 99MY
