Description

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. Use only refrigerant oil of the same type as recommended to service the refrigerant system (always refer to the specification tag included with the replacement A/C compressor or the A/C Underhood Specification Label located in the engine compartment).

CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.

The Zexel DKS-17DS A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with 2.8L and 4.0L engine is designed to use ZXL 100 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when servicing this A/C compressor.

The Visteon HS-18 A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with 3.7L engine is designed to use VC-46 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when servicing this A/C compressor.
