Refrigerant Oil Adding for New A/C Compressor Installation

Note. Service A/C compressors are shipped without refrigerant oil.

1. Rotate the old A/C compressor shaft 8 to 10 full rotations (clockwise) while collecting the refrigerant oil in a clean measuring cup. If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is between 85-142 ml (3-5 ounces), add the same amount plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery. If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is greater than 142 ml (5 ounces), add the same amount plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery. If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is less than 85 ml (3 ounces), add 85 ml (3 ounces) plus the amount collected during refrigerant recovery.
