Only NEW, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used in the
air conditioning system. This oil is highly refined and dehydrated so
moisture content is less than 10 parts per million. The oil container
must be tightly closed at all times when not in use, or moisture from
the air will be absorbed into the refrigerant oil.
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment. Always follow recovery/recycling
equipment manufacturer's instructions. After refrigerant recovery

process is completed, the amount of compressor oil removed must be
measured and the same amount added to A/C system.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all
fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when tightening or
loosening fittings. Some refrigerant lines are connected with a
coupling. Special tools may be required to disconnect lines. Cap or
plug all openings as soon as lines are removed. DO NOT remove caps
until connections of lines and fittings are completed.
CONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
NOTE: All R-134a based systems use 1/2-16 ACME threaded fittings.
Ensure all replacement parts match the connections of the
system being worked on.
Always use a new gasket or "O" ring when connecting lines or
fittings. Coat "O" ring with refrigerant oil and ensure it is not
twisted during installation. Always use 2 wrenches to prevent damage
to lines and fittings.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component service or replacement has been completed and
all connections have been made, evacuate system thoroughly with a
vacuum pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant and
perform leak test. See REFRIGERANT OIL & REFRIGERANT SPECIFICATIONS
article in GENERAL SERVICING for system capacities. Check all fittings
that have been opened. After system has been leak tested, check system
performance.
NOTE: Most compressors are pre-charged with a fixed amount of
refrigerant (shipping) oil. Drain compressor oil from new
compressor and add refrigerant oil to new compressor
according to amount removed from old compressor. Always
refer to underhood A/C specification label or A/C compressor
label while servicing A/C system.
ATSUGI
ROTARY VANE
1) Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate engine at
1200 RPM. Set controls at maximum cooling and high blower motor speed
for 10 minutes to return oil to compressor.
2) Stop engine. Discharge refrigerant and remove compressor
from vehicle. See SERVICING PRECAUTIONS. Drain compressor oil through
compressor discharge port and measure oil amount.
3) If amount drained is less than 3 ounces, conduct leak
tests at system connections. Repair or replace faulty parts as

1) Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate
compressor at engine idle speed, and set controls at maximum cooling
and high blower motor speed for 20-30 minutes to return oil to
compressor.
2) Stop engine and discharge refrigerant. See SERVICING
PRECAUTIONS. Remove refrigerant oil level inspection plug on side of
compressor. Oil should be at lower lip of threaded hole. If oil level
is low, add new refrigerant oil as necessary. Replace inspection plug
and tighten to 10-12 ft. lbs. (14-16 N.m).

2) Stop engine. Discharge refrigerant. See SERVICING
PRECAUTIONS. Measure the amount of oil drained/discharged into

3) Remove compressor from vehicle. Drain compressor oil from
compressor drain plug and measure oil amount. Add this amount to
amount drained in step 2), to obtain total amount drained.
4) Fill compressor with total amount drained, using new oil.
