WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Recommended PAG oil: SP-10

P/N 38897-P13-A01 AH: 120 mL (4 fl-oz)

It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the compressor. Too little oil damages the compressor; too much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system, and can produce high vent temperatures.

To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off immediately.

Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts:

A/C condenser (including receiver/dryer).......25 mL (5/6 fl-oz)

Evaporator.............................35 mL (1 1/6 fl-oz)

Line or hose...........................10 mL (1/3 fl-oz)

Receiver/dryer.......................10 mL (1/3 fl-oz)

Leakage repair.......................25 mL (5/6 fl-oz)

A/C compressor.........Because this compressor is equipped with on oil separator, oil drainage is unnecessary at the time of compressor replacement.
