Draining Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Important: Drain and measure as much of the refrigerant oil as possible from the removed compressor.
- Remove the compressor crankcase oil drain plug and drain the crankcase into a clean, graduated container.
- Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into the same container.
Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
- Measure and record the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor.
This measurement will be used during installation of the replacement compressor.
- Properly discard the used refrigerant oil.
