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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. 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.

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.
