  1. Operate system for several minutes to stabilize system, if possible. Turn engine off. Discharge A/C system, using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Remove compressor. Drain refrigerant oil from compressor through suction and discharge ports, and drain plug. Measure amount of oil drained.
  2. If no oil leaks exist and more than one ounce is drained, add drained amount using new oil. If less than one ounce is drained from compressor, add 2 ounces of new oil.
  3. If replacing A/C components, add specified amount of refrigerant oil to system. See HD6/HT6, HD6/HR-6HE & V5 COMPONENT REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES table. Install drain plug and compressor. Evacuate and charge system. Perform leak test.
NOTE: Approximately 3 ounces of refrigerant oil, suspended in refrigerant, will be lost due to a large, abrupt leak. When replacing faulty component, add required amount of oil for component plus 3 ounces of oil to component. If oil cannot be easily added to component, add to accumulator/receiver-drier.
