AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner in your NISSAN ve-
hicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the lubricant,
NISSAN A/C system oil Type R or the
exact equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant will cause severe damage to
the air conditioning system and will
require the replacement of all air con-
ditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth's
ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does
not affect the earth's atmosphere, certain
governmental regulations require the recov-
ery and recycling of any refrigerant during
automotive air conditioner system service.
Your authorized NISSAN dealer has the
trained technicians and equipment needed
to recover and recycle your air conditioner
system refrigerant.
Contact your authorized NISSAN dealerwhen servicing your air conditioner system.
