Refrigerant Oil Addition

1. A new FS-10 replacement A/C compressor contains no refrigerant oil. If the amount of oil drained from the removed A/C compressor is between 85 and 142 ml (3 to 5 oz), pour the same amount plus 1 (one) ounce of clean oil into the new A/C compressor. If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is greater than 142 ml (5 oz), pour only 142 ml (5 oz) of clean refrigerant oil into the new A/C compressor. If the amount of refrigerant oil drained from the old A/C compressor is less than 85 ml (3 oz), pour 85 ml (3 oz) of clean refrigerant oil into the new compressor.
^ When replacing components of the air conditioning refrigerant system add oil to the replacement components.
