Refrigerant Oil







REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CAPACITIES
Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) Oil GM P/N 12378526 (Canadian P/N 88900060)
Abrupt Refrigerant Loss 60 ml (2.0 ounces.)

NOTE: Abrupt refrigerant loss due to large leak, hose rupture, collision, or pressure relief valve opening. Conditions that allow the refrigerant to seep or bleed off over time do not cause this oil loss. Upon replacement of a component that caused a large refrigerant loss, also add the required amount of oil for the particular component.

COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT

IMPORTANT: Compressor failure can occur if the oil removed during refrigerant recovery is not replaced.

The 7CVC service compressor is shipped with 150 ml (5.0 ounces.) of PAG oil.
Condenser Replacement 30 ml (1.0 ounces.)
Evaporator Replacement 90 ml (3.0 ounces.)

NOTE: If more than the specified amount of PAG oil was drained from a component, add the amount drained.

Any Line Set (Hose/Tube or Tube Assembly) Replacement 30 ml (1.0 ounces.)

NOTE: If more than the specified amount of PAG oil was drained from a component, add the amount drained.
