Compressor Oil Drain Procedure - PHEV
CAUTION:
Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor. Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
NOTE:
If no oil remains in the old A/C compressor the total system oil amount should be added. Refer to CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED FLUIDS, SPECIFICATIONS .
- Remove the old A/C compressor from the vehicle and empty all of the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor ports into a clean measured container.
- Fill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was emptied out of the old A/C compressor into the ports on the new A/C compressor. Use only clean refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
- Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine. Refer to COMPRESSOR, A/C, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
