It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil damages the A/C compressor; too much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system, and can produce high vent temperatures.
-
To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
-
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
-
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off immediately.
Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts:
|
A/C condenser (including receiver/dryer). |
25 mL (5/6 fl·oz) |
