Adding Refrigerant Oil After New Suction Accumulator or Receiver/Drier Replacement
NOTE:
This refrigerant oil adding method is to be used when a new suction accumulator or receiver drier only has been installed. If a new A/C compressor and evaporator core orifice or TXV have also been installed due to system contamination, refer to the appropriate heading.
- Drill one 12.7 mm (1/2 in) hole in the old suction accumulator or receiver/drier cylinder and drain the oil into a clean measuring cup.
- Add the same quantity of new PAG oil, plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery and 60 ml (2 fl oz).
