Replacement of components
When replacing the system’s component parts,
supply the following amount of oil to the
compressor.

After installing these component parts, check the
compressor oil. (See p.16).
CAUTION!
The specified oil quantity differs, depending
on the type of air conditioning system. A
label describing the specified quantity is
attached to the compressor. Additionally, all
of the oil cannot be removed when draining
the compressor, as some remains as an oil
film on the inside of the compressor and
the system components. Therefore, refer to
the table at the left when recharging the
compressor with oil. Excess oil adversely
affects the cooling capacity and the
compressor.
CAUTION!
The oil filler plug O-ring must be replaced
with a new one.
