Vehicle Damage Warnings





REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS

Handling Compressor Oil

- Use only DH-PR compressor oil for this vehicle. Using PAG oil other than DH-PR compressor oil can damage the A/C compressor.
- Do not spill DH-PR 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.
- DH-PR 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.
