Refrigerant Oil






HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: COMPRESSOR: INSTALLATION; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]

Refrigerant Oil Capacity

Drain oil from the new compressor assembly, and then add new oil so that the amount of oil in the new compressor assembly is the same as that in the compressor assembly to be replaced

NOTICE:
When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions on the cooler removal/installation
If a new compressor is installed without removing some oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be excessive. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigeration system failure
If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor is too small, check for oil leaks
Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil
