Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement
- Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
- Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to " «CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT»(ref-232736-S11300872202006052000000) ".
- Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to " «CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT»(ref-232736-S11300872202006052000000) ".
- Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery/recycling equipment.
- Drain the lubricant from the "old" (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of lubricant drained.
- Drain the lubricant from the "new" compressor into a separate, clean container.
- Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from "old" compressor. Add this lubricant to "new" compressor through the suction port opening.
- Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to "new" compressor through the suction port opening.
- If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m l (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 lmp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
| CAUTION | Do not add the 5 m l (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 lmp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor and not the liquid tank. |
