Working with HFC-134a (R-134a): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Infiniti FX50. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to "CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT " below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
  • Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
  • The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following handling precautions must be observed:
    • Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
    • Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrigerant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
    • Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant. Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
    • Never allow lubricant (A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.
