6. Install the oil filler plug and tighten it to the
specified torque.
Specified torque: 15 - 18 N·m
{1.5 - 1.8 kgf·m, 11 - 13 lbf·ft]
CAUTION!
The specified oil quantity differs, depending
on the type of air conditioner system. A
label describing the specified quantity is
attached to the compressor. Additionally, all
of the oil cannot be removed when draining
the compressor as some remains as an oil
film on the inside of the compressor and
the system components. Therefore, refer
to the table at left when recharging the
compressor with oil. Excess oil adversely
affects the cooling capacity and the
compressor.
CAUTION!
The oil filler plug O-ring must be replaced
with a new one.
