- When the A/C system is being used, the refrigerant oil that was in the A/C compressor before switching on the A/C system for the first time is distributed throughout the entire refrigerant circuit.
- Depending on the previous operating condition of the A/C system before switching it off, the ambient temperatures, etc., the distribution of the refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit varies. A general statement about the refrigerant oil distribution in the refrigerant circuit is therefore not possible. Therefore, observe the information regarding the replacement of refrigerant circuit components. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit Components, Replacing or COMPONENTS, REPLACING
