Draining Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, and 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. 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.
  1. Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into a clean, graduated container.

    Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.

  2. Measure and record the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor.

    This measurement will be used during installation of the replacement compressor.

  3. Properly discard the used refrigerant oil.
