Distribution of the Oil In the Refrigerant Circuit

Total oil quantity 195 ± 15 cubic.cm

After suction Removal from the system, the following quantities remain in the following quantities remain:

condenser 2 x 20 cubic cm approx. 40 cubic.cm
evaporator approx. 30 cubic.cm
fluid tank
with lines approx. 30 cubic.cm
compressor approx. 50 cubic.cm
circulating oil quantity
in the refrigerant circuit approx. 60 cubic.cm


NOTE: In new vehicles, the amount of oil removed by suction is approx. 15.... 40 cubic.cm.
Oil removed by suction must be returned to the system.


Refrigerant oil removed from a previously run air-conditioning system may no longer be used (special-category waste).

After the refrigerant has been removed by suction and a component has been replaced, the oil quantity must be determined and topped up by the quantity remaining in the removed component.
