Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair

Fig. 9  Oil Charge Table

Compressor lubrication oil circulates with refrigerant while the system is operating.  If significant refrigerant is lost, check oil level as follows:

1.

Open all doors, then start and run engine at 800 - 1500 RPM.

2.

Set Temperature switch to 65°F (max. cold), then DEF switch to On position.

3.

Set Fan switch to Hi position.

4.

Operate engine for approximately 20 minutes to return oil to compressor.

5.

Stop engine, then slowly discharge refrigerant from system.

6.

Remove compressor from vehicle, then drain oil from drain plug port.

7.

Refer to Fig. 9 for amount of oil to be added or removed. If replacing compressor, drain oil completely from new compressor, then add same
amount as drained from old compressor.

8.

If adding oil to the compressor, pour premeasured oil into drain plug port of the compressor with the aid of a funnel.

9.

Install compressor, evacuate and recharge system.
