Balancing Procedure with Service Compressor Replacement (Flushing Not Required)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The refrigerant oil in the A/C system must be balanced during compressor replacement.
- The replacement compressor is shipped with 40 ml (1.4 oz) of refrigerant oil.
- Before installing the compressor, calculate the total amount of oil drained from the compressor and collected by the recovery equipment.
- If the sum of the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor and the amount of oil removed during refrigerant recovery is:
- LESS THAN 40 ml (1.4 ounces), no balancing is required. Install the replacement compressor as is. It contains 40 ml (1.4 ounces) of refrigerant oil.
- MORE THAN 40 ml (1.4 ounces), additional oil is required. Subtract 40 ml (1.4 oz) from the sum of removed oil (oil drained + oil recovered). ADD the calculated difference to the A/C compressor or by filling the A/C system using GE-45037 A/C Oil Injector.
