- J 41447 can be poured directly into a removed A/C component. See Special Tools .
- J 46297-12 is injected into the low side port using J 46297 . See Special Tools .
- Not all of the fluorescent dyes are compatible with PAG oil.
Some types of dye decrease the oil viscosity or may chemically react with the oil.
