LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant, HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf ), and
the compressor oil, ND-OIL11 or
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, HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf ), in
your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. Although this refriger-
ant does not affect the earth’s atmo-
sphere, certain governmental regulations
require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air condi-
tioning system service. Air conditioner sys-
tem should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to ensure proper and
safe operation (SAE J2845). A NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer has the trained techni-
cians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioning system
refrigerant. Only new and SAE J2842 certi-
fied evaporator(s) or inner condenser (if so
equipped) shall be used as replacement
parts. A damaged or leaking air conditioning
evaporator or inner condenser (if so
equipped) shall never be repaired or re-
placed with one removed from a used or
salvaged vehicle. To replace a damaged or
leaking evaporator or inner condenser (if
so equipped), use only new and SAE J2842
certified evaporator(s). It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
when servicing your air conditioner
system.
