Distribution of the oil quantity in the refrigerant circuit
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
OIL QUANTITY
| Total oil quantity | 195 +/- 15 cm3 |
After suction removal from the system, the following quantities remain in the
DISTRIBUTION OF THE OIL QUANTITY IN THE REFRIGERANT
| Condensor 2 x 20 cm3 | approx. 40 cm3 |
| Evaporator | approx. 20 cm3 |
| Fluid tank with lines | approx. 30 cm3 |
| Compressor | approx. 50 cm3 |
| Circulating oil quantity in the refrigerant circuit | approx. 60 cm3 |
NOTE:
- In new vehicles, the amount of oil removed by suction is approx. 15 ... 40 cm3 . Oil removed by suction must be returned to the system.
Refrigerant oil removed by suction from a previously run air-conditioning system must no longer be used (special-category waste).
After the refrigerant has been removed by suction and a component has been replaced, the oil quantity must be determined and topped up by the quantity remaining in the removed component.
