- Only fill the refrigerant circuit with approved refrigerant oils. Refer to the Electronic Parts Information. The correct refrigerant oil depends on the manufacturer and the type of A/C compressor installed.
- Too much refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit increases the pressures and reduces the cooling output of the system.
- Too little refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit can lead to A/C compressor failure due to lubrication problems.
- Refrigerant oil absorbs moisture. Do not use refrigerant oil from containers that have been left open for a long period of time. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, GENERAL INFORMATION .
