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