Refrigerant Oil: Service Precautions

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS




Handling Compressor Oil
- Use only ATMOS GU10 compressor oil for this vehicle. Using a PAG oil other than ATMOS GU10 compressor oil can damage the A/C compressor.
- Do not spill ATMOS GU1O compressor oil on the vehicle. A drop of compressor oil on the vehicle surface can eat away at the paint.
- If oil gets on the vehicle, wipe it off immediately.

- ATMOS GU10 compressor oil (PAG oil) has a higher moisture absorption efficiency than the previously used mineral oil. If moisture mixes with the compressor oil, the refrigerant system could be damaged. Therefore, install caps immediately after using the compressor oil or removing refrigerant system parts to prevent moisture absorption.
