Adding Oil

Adding oil to the A/C system should take place after recovery and before evacuation procedure. Remove the refrigeration discharge hose at the compressor pipe connection. Pour the correct quantity of new PAG compressor oil into the discharge hose pipe. Always lubricate new O-rings with clean R-12 mineral compressor oil prior to assembly. Then properly connect hose to compressor with new O-ring. For component replacement, add new Saturn refrigerant PAG oil to the component before installation.
