    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.

  4. Add the greater amount of refrigerant oil to the A/C compressor.
