NOTE: Be certain to add refrigerant oil if the rear
receiver/drier is being replaced. The refrigerant oil
must be drained from the old receiver/drier and
measured to determine the amount of refrigerant oil
to add to the new receiver/drier. Use only refriger-
ant oil of the type recommended for the rear A/C
compressor in the vehicle.
