Refrigerant Oil: Capacity Specifications

REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES

CAUTION: The oil used in the Denso 10S17 A/C compressor is ND-8 PAG R-134a refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil of the same type should
be used to service the A/C system. Do not use any other refrigerant oil. The oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use
and then tightly capped after use to prevent contamination from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb any moisture it comes in
contact with, therefore, special effort must be used to keep all R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture in the refrigerant oil is very
difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C compressor.

NOTE: Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed during recovery. This amount of lubricant should be
added back into the system. Refer to the reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.

It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has been an oil loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture
or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil
to the refrigerant system after the repair has been made. Refrigerant oil loss will be evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet, shiny surface
around the leak.

Refrigerant oil must be added when an A/C condenser, A/C receiver/drier or A/C evaporator is replaced (refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart).

The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor installation.
