Refrigerant Oil







DESCRIPTION

The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, polyalkylene glycol (PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils, and should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.

There are different PAG oils available, and each contains a different additive package. The Denso 10S15 and 10S17 A/C compressors used in this vehicle are designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil in the refrigerant system.
