Adding Refrigerant Oil After Electric A/C Compressor Replacement - 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: Motorcraft® Electric A/C Compressor Oil only must be used as a refrigerant system lubricant for hybrid vehicles. Addition of any oil other than Motorcraft® Electric A/C Compressor Oil to the hybrid vehicle refrigerant system will damage the electric Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor and contaminate the refrigerant system.

NOTE: Do not use the R-134a Refrigerant Management Machine built-in oil injection system to inject Motorcraft Electric A/C Compressor Oil to the refrigerant system on hybrid vehicles equipped with an electric Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor if it has been previously used to inject PAG oil. For hybrid vehicles, use only clean manual injection tools. Injection of Motorcraft Electric A/C Compressor Oil into a hybrid vehicle with equipment previously used with PAG oil will contaminate and damage the hybrid A/C system.

NOTE: Service electric A/C compressors are shipped with 60 ml (2 fl oz) of electric A/C compressor oil already installed.

Drain the oil from the old electric compressor into a clean measuring cup.

If the amount of oil drained is less than or equal to 60 ml (2 fl oz), add the amount of oil collected by the R-134a Refrigerant Management Machine during refrigerant recovery to the low-side service port after the new electric A/C compressor is installed and the system has been evacuated.
If the amount of oil drained is greater than 60 ml (2 fl oz), add the difference between the amount collected and 60 ml (2 fl oz), plus the amount collected by the R-134a Refrigerant Management Machine during refrigerant recovery, to the low-side service port after the new electric A/C compressor is installed and the system has been evacuated.
