A/C Compressor System
Up to 120 ml (4 fluid ounces) of oil can collect in the crankcase. Therefore, it is important when replacing a compressor that the oil in the old compressor crankcase be drained and measured (discard the oil after recording the amount). All replacement compressors will be shipped with approximately 240 ml (8 fluid ounces) of oil in the crankcase. The oil must be drained and retained. Then replace the oil in the same amount as previously recorded from the old compressor.
