Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
CHECKING AND ADDING OF COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL
In order to add oil to an operating compressor, check the compressor oil using the following procedure:
1. Stop the engine, discharge the refrigerant, and dismantle the compressor from the vehicle.
2. Pour oil from the system line outlet.
3. Check the volume of the discharged oil. If it is less than 70 cc, it means there is little leak. Perform the leakage test on each system connection, and
repair or replace faulty parts if necessary.
4. Check the oil for contamination and replenish the oil level in the following procedure:
a. When oil is clean
b. If the oil is contaminated with metal fragments or other material, clean the receiver drier after charging the refrigerant.
