Refrigerant Oil

Standard:

(Oil capacity inside the new compressor and magnetic clutch: 130 + 15 cc (4.6 + 0.51 fl.oz.) ) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor when replacing)

NOTICE:
* When checking the compressor oil level, observe the Precautions on the Cooler Removal/Installation.
* If a new compressor and magnetic clutch are installed without removing some oil, due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be too large. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigerant failure.
* If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch is too small, check for oil leakage.
* Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil.
