Refrigerant Oil Adding - General Procedures

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2009 Jaguar XKR, 2009 Jaguar XK8, 2008 Jaguar XKR, 2008 Jaguar XK8, and 2007 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Make sure when disconnecting air conditioning (A/C) connections, that the exposed ports are capped immediately. Make sure you do not leave the A/C system open to the atmosphere. Failure to follow this instruction may result damage to the vehicle.
NOTE: A new replacement A/C compressor is pre-filled with ND8 oil.
  1. Drain the oil from the old compressor and measure the quantity of oil drained.
  2. Drain the oil from the new compressor into a clean container.
    3. CAUTION: If less than 30 cc of oil was drained from the old compressor, then 30 cc of oil must be refilled into the new compressor. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
    NOTE: Use the new compressor oil to refill to the required quantity.
  3. Refill the new compressor with the same amount of oil which was measured from the old compressor. See Specifications .
