   Standard

   (Oil capacity inside the new compressor with motor assembly: 115 to 130 cc (3.9 to 4.4 fl. oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor with motor assembly) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor)

   NOTE:

   • When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions on the cooler removal/installation.
   • If a new compressor with motor assembly is installed without removing some oil, there will be too much oil in the system due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle. Excessive oil in the system prevents heat exchange in the refrigeration cycle and causes ineffective cooling.
   • If the amount of oil remaining in the old compressor with motor assembly is too small, check the air conditioning system for oil leaks.
   • Be sure to use ND-OIL 11 or equivalent compressor oil. If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used, compressor with motor assembly insulation performance may decrease, resulting in a leak of electric power.

1. Install the compressor with motor assembly with the 3 bolts.
