COMPRESSOR OIL SPECIFICATIONS

The compressor is factory filled with 150 - 170 cc's of
PAG 100 oil (Poly Alkelene Glycol).
It is only necessary to check, replenish or replace the
compressor oil in the following cases:
• When the evaporator, condenser or receiver-drier is
replaced.
• When refrigerant has leaked from the system.
• When refrigerant is suddenly released from the cooling
cycle.
• When any oil related problems occur in the cooling
cycle.
NOTICE
When one of the components (the evaporator,
condenser or receiver-drier) is replaced, 1.0 ounce (30
cc) of PAG 100 oil should be added for each component
replaced.
If the A/C compressor is changed, no oil should be
added to the system, because the compressor comes
factory filled with oil.
IMPORTANT
Only PAG 100 oil should be used. Never mix R-12 and
R-134a Oils.

COMPRESSOR OIL INSPECTION

The compressor oil should be checked as follows when
oil is being added to an in service utility work machine.
There is a close affinity between oil and refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil circulates with the
refrigerant in the system. Therefore, when checking the
amount of oil in the system or replacing any system
component, the compressor must be run in advance to
insure return of oil to the compressor.
If the amount of refrigerant in the system has decreased,
charge the system.
1. Open the cab door and windows.
2. Run the blower at maximum speed.
3. Run the compressor for at least 20 minutes at idle.
4. Remove the compressor from the vehicle.
5. Remove the oil drain plug
