1. Refer to the chart for refrigerant oil adding amounts and methods of installation.
Refrigerant Oil Adding for New A/C Compressor Installation
NOTE: service A/C compressors are shipped without refrigerant oil.
1. Rotate the old A/C compressor shaft 8 to 10 full rotations (clockwise) while collecting the refrigerant oil in a clean measuring cup.
-
If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is between 85-142 ml (3-5 ounces), add the same amount plus the amount collected
during refrigerant recovery.
-
If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is greater than 142 ml (5 ounces), add the same amount plus the amount collected
during refrigerant recovery.
-
If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is less than 85 ml (3 ounces), add 85 ml (3 ounces) plus the amount collected during
refrigerant recovery.
Refrigerant Oil Adding for New Suction Accumulator or Receiver/Drier Installation
1. Drill one half-inch hole in the old suction accumulator or receiver/drier cylinder and drain the oil into a clean measuring cup.
2. Add the quantity of oil drained, plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery and 60 ml (2 ounces).
Oil Injection Using a Dye/Lubricant Injector
NOTE: If fluorescent leak detection dye is also to be added during A/C charging, the dye may be added to the dye/lubricant injector along with the
refrigerant oil.
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system.
2. Assembly the dye/lubricant injector using the correct adapters to match the amount of PAG oil to be injected.
3. Verify that all the valves on the dye/lubricant injector are closed.
