Hybrid Vehicle Refrigerant Recovery/Charging Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Kia Sorento. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Since the electric compressor uses high-voltage, you should use POE oil which has high Volumetric Resistivity.
Do not use the same A/C recovery/charging station as conventional belt-driven compressors.

WARNING: If the POE oil of the system gets mixed with PAG oil, then dielectric breakdown due to decreased volumetric Resistivity can occur and inoperative A/C compressor may result, A/C compressor may not work.
