Compressor Oil
- Electric compressor oil is not interchangeable with belt-driven compressor oil.
- Use the compressor oil listed on the label for the electric compressor system. The compressor oil is not compatible with any other brands of compressor oil.
- Do not mix multiple compressor oils.
If belt-driven compressor oil is used with a electric compressor system, there is the risk of short circuit and electrical leakage due to oil conductivity.
On the other hand, if electric compressor oil is used in belt-driven compressor system, the durability of the A/C system will be dramatically lowered.
- Compressor oil is very hygroscopic. When replacing or installing/removing A/C parts, immediately isolate the oil from atmosphere using a plug or tape. In order to avoid moisture, store the oil in a container with its cap tightly closed.
