Capacities





REFRIGERANT R-134A

Note
When charging the system on the high pressure side, always use the maximum A/C refrigerant quantity specification (700 g) as some refrigerant remains in the hoses of the refrigerant recovery/recycling/recharging unit.

REFRIGERANT (PAG) OIL

Note
^ R-134a refrigerant system oil (PAG oil) absorbs moisture very rapidly. Moisture combines with the refrigerant to form acids which will damage the system. Use only the specified oil from a sealed container and ALWAYS reseal oil container immediately after use. DO NOT use oil if it has become contaminated with moisture or if oil container has been left open.

^ Refrigerant oils used for the R-134a system and R-12 system are NOT compatible. Use only the specified synthetic oil (Polyalkylene Glycol/PAG) for the R-134a refrigerant system. DO NOT use R-12 system oil in an R-134a system or R-134a system oil in an R-12 system. If the refrigerant oils are mixed, system contamination will occur and compressor failure may result.






CAUTION
Part numbers are for reference only. Always check with your Parts Department for latest parts information.

Use only SP-10 refrigerant oil (PAG oil), Part No. G 052 154 A2, or equivalent.

Note
^ Replacement A/C compressors supplied by the Parts Department are filled with 250 cc +/- 20 cc (8.5 fl oz +/- 0.7 fl oz) of refrigerant oil. This is the total A/C system refrigerant oil capacity

^ When A/C is switched on for the first time, the refrigerant oil is distributed throughout the entire system.

^ When replacing A/C system components, add appropriate amount of refrigerant oil to component.

^ Dispose of used refrigerant oil following laws governing hazardous waste disposal.
