1.	A/C Refrigerant Oil - Replace

Recommended PAG oil: DENSO ND-OIL 8

P/N 38897-PR7-A01AH: 120 m L (4 fl oz)

It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil damages the A/C compressor; too much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system, and can produce high vent temperatures.

To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.

Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.

Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off immediately.

Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts:

A/C condenser (including receiver/dryer) .............	25 mL (5/6 fl oz)
Evaporator ......................................	40 mL (1 1/3 fl oz)
Line or hose ...................................	10 mL (1/3 fl oz)
Receiver/dryer ................................	10 mL (1/3 fl oz)
Leakage repair ..............................	25 mL (5/6 fl oz)
A/C compressor ............................	For A/C compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed A/C compressor from 82 mL (2 3/4 fl oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new A/C compressor: 82 mL (2 3/4 fl oz) ? Volume of removed A/C compressor = Volume to drain from new A/C compressor. NOTE: Even if no oil is drained from the removed A/C compressor, do not drain more than 50 mL (1 2/3 fl oz) from the new A/C compressor.
