- The replacement compressor is shipped with 74 ml (2.5 oz) of refrigerant oil.
- Compare the amount of refrigerant oil recorded during compressor removal to the amount of refrigerant oil shipped in the replacement compressor.
If the amount of refrigerant oil drained and recorded from the removed compressor is:
- Less than 74 ml (2.5 oz)
Leave the 74 ml (2.5 oz) in the replacement compressor.
- More than 74 ml (2.5 oz)
Add to the compressor the difference between the 74 ml (2.5 oz) and the amount drained.
- Less than 74 ml (2.5 oz)
IMPORTANT:
The refrigerant oil in the A/C system must be balanced during compressor replacement.
