REFILLING OF OIL
IN THE A/C SYSTEM
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and cause a compressor failure.
Too much oil will increase discharge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 150 mL of compressor oil. While
the A/C system is in operation, the oil is carried through the entire system by the
refrigerant. Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts of the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is necessary to add oil to the system
to replace the oil being removed with the component.
Compressor oil: DH-PR
Quantity
Evaporator: 35 mL
Condenser: 15 mL
A/C hose and pipe: 10 mL
