ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system See: Specifications/Capacity
Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity . Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from
operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be
added to the refrigerant system See: Specifications/Capacity Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity .
NOTE: If the rear A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber
