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.
-
Add the same amount plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery.
Refrigerant Oil Adding for New Suction Accumulator or Receiver/Drier Installation
1. Drill one 12.7 mm (1/2 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 fl oz).
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. Assemble the dye/lubricant injector using the correct adapters to match the amount of refrigerant compressor oil to be injected.
3. Verify that all the valves on the dye/lubricant injector are closed.
4. Fill the dye/lubricant injector with the correct amount of clean, new PAG oil.
5. Install the dye/lubricant injector between the low-side service gauge port valve and the refrigerant service station or manifold gauge set.
