Balancing Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Important:  The refrigerant oil in the A/C system must be balanced during compressor replacement.

Follow the balancing instructions provided with the compressor.

  1. The replacement compressor is shipped without refrigerant oil.
  2. Calculate the amount of refrigerant oil required for oil balancing.

    Compare the following refrigerant oil capacities:

    • The amount drained and recorded during compressor removal.
    • The amount recommended for component replacement. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities 
  3. Add the greater amount of refrigerant oil to the A/C compressor.
