Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair

Air Conditioning (A/C) System Oil Charge Replenishing

Tools Required

J 41459  A/C Oil Injector

Important:  The addition of lubricating oil must be carried out whenever any component is replaced in the A/C system to compensate for
oil trapped in the removed component. Carrying out this procedure ensures the A/C system always has the correct amount of oil as
specified by the manufacturer.

1. Evacuate the A/C system for a minimum of 30 minutes and to minus 100 kPa negative gauge pressure. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and

Recharging   (See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Procedures/Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging).

Important:  Make sure the valve (3) is in the closed position.

2. Remove the plunger (1) from the J 41459    (2) and pour in the appropriate amount of polyalkylene glycol (PAG) oil specified for the replaced

component. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities   (See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Specifications/Capacity Specifications).

3. Jiggle the plunger (1) to remove any air in the J 41459    (2).

4. With the A/C system still evacuated, connect the J 41459    (1) to the low side charging port (2).
5. Turn the J 41459   shut off valve tap (3) to the open position to depress the low side charging port (2) schrader valve.

The oil should now be drawn into the A/C system due to the low pressure in the A/C system.
