Compressor Specifications
DO NOT
spin A/C compressor over 8000 RPM, damage may occur.
Wide Open Throttle (WOT) cut-off type A/C compressor controller recommended.
Always use the type of PAG oil listed for the model being serviced. Do not mix different types of PAG oils.
Refrigerant Oil Level
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper lubrication of the A/C
compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of
the A/C system and consequently result in higher discharge air temperatures.
NOTE: The refrigerant oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use, and then tightly recapped after
use to prevent contamination from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact
with; therefore, special effort must be used to keep all system components moisture-free. Moisture in the refrigerant oil
is very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C compressor.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has been an oil loss. An oil loss
may occur due to a rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak
occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system after the repair has been made.
Refrigerant oil loss will be evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor installation.
Compressor Oil Drain Procedure
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to drain and measure
refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1.
Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the old A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
2.
Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
3.
Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was drained out of the old compressor.
Use only clean refrigerant oil of the type specified for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
