AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant, HFC-134a (R-134a), and the
compressor oil, ND-OIL11 (with heater
pump), AE10 (without heater pump) or
the equivalent.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement 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 regulations require the re-
covery and recycling of any refrigerant dur-
ing automotive air conditioning system
service. A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer has
the trained technicians and equipment
needed to recover and recycle your air con-
ditioning system refrigerant.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer when servicing your
air conditioning system.
