OIL

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor

INFOID:0000000006163102

The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when

replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain the spec-

ified amount.

If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

• Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor

• Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING

CAUTION:

If excessive oil leakage is noted, do not perform the oil return operation.

Start the engine and set the following conditions:

Test Condition

• Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm

• A/C switch: On

• Blower fan speed: MAX position

• Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25

° to 30° C (77° to 86°F)]

• Intake position: Recirculation (

)

• Perform oil return operation for about ten minutes

Adjust the oil quantity according to the following table.

Oil Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor

After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of oil to the system.

Amount of Oil to be Added
