AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your NISSAN
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant, HFC-134a (R-134a) and the oil, com-
pressor oil ND-OIL11 or the equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil will
cause severe damage to the air condi-
tioning system and will require the re-
placement of all air conditioner system
components.
The refrigerant, HFC-134a (R-134a) , in your
NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the
earth’s atmosphere, certain governmental regu-
lations require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air conditioning
system service. A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
has the trained technicians and equipment
needed to recover and recycle your air condition-
ing system refrigerant.
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer when
servicing your air conditioning system.
