12. Install the compressor in the reverse order of
removal; and:
• If you're installing a new compressor, drain all
the refrigerant oil out of the old compressor and
measure its volume. Subtract the volume of old
oil from 160 (5 1/3 fl-oz, 5,6 Imp-oz); the result
is the amount of oil you should drain from the
new compressor (through the suction fitting).
• Replace O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply refrigerant oil to them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for
R-134a to avoid leakage.
• Use (ND-OIL 8) oil for R-134a DENSO piston type
compressors only.
• Do not return the oil to the c o n t a i n e r once
dispensed and never mix with other refrigerant
oils to avoid contamination.
• Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
• Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
13. Adjust the compressor belt (see page 22-88).
After adjusting the belt, tighten the idler pulley
center nut.
Then tighten the adjusting bolt securely.
14. Charge the system (see page 22-91).
15. Test system performance (see page 22-70).
