A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement

Recommended PAG oil: DENSO ND-OIL 8

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

A/C Condenser .........35 mL (1 1/6 fl-oz)

Front evaporator ......40 mL (1 1/3 fl-oz)

Rear evaporator .......30 mL (1 fl-oz)

Line or hose .............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 180 mL (6 fl-oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new A/C compressor: 180 mL (6 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.
