note these items:
• If you're installing a new evaporator core, add
refrigerant oil (SANDEN SE-10Y). Using the
w r o n g refrigerant oil can be a safety hazard
(see page 21-6).
• Replace the O-rings w i t h new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing t h e m . Be sure to use the correct O-rings
for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
• Immediately after using the oil, dispose of any
remaining oil in the container, due to moisture
absorption and short shelf life.
• Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, w a s h it off immediately.
• Make sure that there is no air leakage.
• Charge the system (see page 21-105).
