Refrigerant Oil - Description






GAS MODELS

The refrigerant oil used in the R-134a refrigerant system on models equipped with 3.7L, 4.7L and 5.7L gasoline engine, is a synthetic-based, polyalkylene glycol (PAG), wax free lubricant. Mineral based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils and should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.

There are different PAG oils available. Each PAG oil contains a different additive package. A/C compressors in 3.7L, 4.7L and 5.7L gas engine models are designed to use ND-8 refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil.
