LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT EXCEPT COMPRESSOR
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system. Amount of lubricant to be added
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling recharging equipment gauges. No refrigerant
pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling recharging equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling recharging
equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to "CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT".
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to
"CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT".
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the lubricant from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of lubricant drained.
6. Drain the lubricant from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this lubricant to new compressor through the
suction port opening.
8. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to new compressor through the suction
port opening.
9. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add another 5 ml (0.2 US fl oz., 0.2 Imp fl oz.) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 ml (0.2 US fl oz., 0.2 Imp fl oz.) of lubricant only when replaces the compressor.
