Oil Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement

1. Before connecting the recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check the recovery/recycling equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be

displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.

2. Connect the recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using the recovery/recycling equipment and

refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to "Contaminated Refrigerant".

3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using the recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to "Contaminated

Refrigerant".

4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure oil discharged into the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the oil from the "old" (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of oil drained.
6. Drain the oil from the "new" compressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new oil installed equal to amount drained from "old" compressor. Add this oil to "new" compressor through the suction port

opening.

8. Measure an amount of new oil equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this oil to "new" compressor through the suction port

opening.

9. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 ml (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of oil at this time.

CAUTION:  Do not add this 5 ml (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of oil if only replacing the compressor.
