A/C Compressor Installation Note
| CAUTION | Due to the high moisture-absorption efficiency of the compressor oil, it may absorb moisture if it is left over a long period of time thereby negatively affecting A/C operation. Drain the compressor oil and refill within 10 min. |
Scheme 46
- Drain the oil into a clean container while rotating the shaft of the new A/C compressor 6-8 times. This drained oil is to be re-added to the compressor so be careful not to let it become dirty. (Scheme 46): Draining A/C Compressor Oil Into Clean Container
- For the old compressor, drain the oil into a separate, clean container while rotating the shaft 6-8 times.
- Compare the quantities of the two oils. The oil quantity from the new A/C compressor should be more than the old A/C compressor.
- Adjust the quantity of the oil removed in procedure 1 to the quantity of the oil removed from the old A/C compressor, and then add it to the new A/C compressor. A/C compressor oil type ATMOS GU10 A/C compressor oil quantity (approx. quantity) 110 ml {110 cc, 3.72 fl oz}
