Draining Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT:

    Drain and measure as much of the refrigerant oil as possible from the removed compressor.

  1. Before draining oil, position the compressor vertically (clutch facing upwards) and let it sit for 1 minute.
  2. Position the compressor horizontally, with the ports facing downward, rotate the clutch and shake the compressor in order to remove as much oil from the compressor as possible.
  3. Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into a clean, graduated container. Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
