NOTES:
- All compressors are filled with approx. 300 cc of refrigerant oil by the manufacturer. Under normal conditions, oil is neither changed nor added. Never fill-in machine or engine oil.
- Check oil level after replacing parts, prior to refilling system, or when refrigerant or oil has been lost. Since a certain quantity of oil is picked up by the refrigerant and will get into the system, a loss of refrigerant may also include a loss of oil.
- Models with Delco compressor permit an oil level check in installed condition. Such a checkup is necessary only if the system is completely empty. For details concerning removal and installation of refrigerant compressor refer to "Service and Repair". When repairs are carried out on the air conditioning system, the receiver dehydrator (dryer) should always be replaced.
- For checking oil level, unscrew oil check screw (3) and add refrigerant oil with squirt can up to overflow. Screw back oil check screw and tighten.
