Guide for compressor replacement 
Step 1: Remove the compressor from the faulty outdoor unit, pour out the oil from the compressor according to 
the method illustrated. Normally the oil will flow out from the discharge pipe of the compressor. 
 
Step 2: Inspect system oil 
Normally the oil should be clear and transparent, slightly yellow is also not an indication on any problems. 
However, if the oil is dark, black or contains impurities, the system has problems and the oil needs to be 
changed.   
 
   
The oil is black, it 
has been carbonized 
The oil is a little 
yellow, but it is clear 
and transparent, the 
quality is 
acceptable 
Cloudy or gray oil 
indicates 
abnormal system 
operation 
This sample 
contains copper bits 
The oil is still 
transparent, but 
there is impunity in 
the oil, the 
impunity may clog 
the filter
