Refrigerant Oil - Description

DESCRIPTION

The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems 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, and each contains a different additive package. Use only refrigerant oil of the same type as recommended to service the refrigerant system (always refer to the specification tag included with the replacement A/C compressor or the A/C Underhood Specification Label located in the engine compartment).

The Denso A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with the 5.7L engine is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when servicing the A/C compressor on these engines.

The Visteon A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with the 5.9L and 6.7L Diesel engine is designed to use VC-46 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when servicing the A/C compressor on this engine.
