Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
Compressor Oil - Topping Up and Adjusting For R134a
CAUTION: Systems with R134a use P.A.G. oil, part number 40 74787.
-
The A/C system is filled with 200 ml of compressor oil. A certain amount of compressor oil is always lost in connection when draining refrigerant
and replacing components. This amount must be recharged so that the operation of the system will not be adversely affected.
-
Charging compressor oil should be carried out on the compressor's high-pressure side. Compressor oil is supplied in tubes of 20 ml.
-
The table above shows how much compressor oil is lost in connection with various types of work on the A/C system.
CAUTION: The new compressor is filled with 200 ml of oil before delivery. In order not to have too much oil in the A/C system, and so
impaired cooling, oil must be drained from the compressor before it is fitted. How much will depend on the amount of oil that has been lost In
connection with the replacement of other components, if any. The A/C system should always contain 200 ml of compressor oil.
-
If only the compressor is being changed, 130 ml of oil should be drained from the new compressor (200 - 70 = 130). If, for example, the desiccant
container is also being changed, only 70 ml of oil should be drained from the compressor as per the example above.
