A/C System Oil Charge Replenishing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Swift +, 2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Any oil removed from the A/C system during the recovery process must be replenished at this time.
- Use the correct graduated bottle of PAG oil for the R-134a system.
- Keep the oil bottles tightly capped at all times to protect the oil from moisture and contamination.
- Never open the oil injection valve while there is positive pressure in the A/C system. This will result in oil blow-back through the bottle vent. You must have A/C system vacuum for this operation.
- Never let the oil level drop below the pick-up tube while charging or replenishing the system. This will allow air into the A/C system.
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use. Add the proper amount of PAG oil to the system.
- Close the valve when the required oil charge has been pulled into the system.
