Adding Refrigerant Oil After A/C Compressor Replacement - Non-Hybrid

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Service A/C compressors are shipped without refrigerant oil.
  1. Rotate the old A/C compressor shaft 8 to 10 full rotations (clockwise) while collecting the PAG oil in a clean measuring cup.
    • Add the same amount plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery.
