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 90 and 150 ml (3 to 5 oz), pour the same amount plus 30 ml (1 oz) of clean oil into the new A/C compressor. If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is greater than 150 ml (5 oz), pour only 150 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 90 ml (3 oz), pour 90 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.
