A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement

Recommended PAG oil: SANDEN SP-10:

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

A/C condenser...15 mL (1/2 fl.oz)

Evaporator...35 mL (1 1/6 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 130 mL (4 1/3 fl.oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new A/C compressor: 130 mL (4 1/3 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, don't drain more than 50 mL (1 2/3 fl.oz) from the new A/C compressor.
