Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
Refilling of Oil In the A/C System
Refilling of Oil In the A/C System
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase discharge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 170 cu.cm (5.7 floz) of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation, the oil is carried
through the entire system by the refrigerant. Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts of the system.
When the following system components are replaced, it is necessary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being removed with the component.
