Acura RL (1996-2004 year). Manual — part 605
A/C Service Tips and Precautions
The air conditioner system uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil*, which are not
compatible with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and mineral oil. Do not use R-12 refrigerant or mineral oil in this system, and do
not attempt to use R-12 servicing equipment; damage to the air conditioner system or your servicing equipment will result.

P/N 38897-PR7-A01AH: 120 m (4 fl-oz, 4.2 Imp-oz)
P/N38899-PR7-A01: 40 m (1 1/3 fl-oz, 1.4 Imp-oz)
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove R-134a
from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist can irritate eyes, nose and throat. Avoid
breathing the air conditioner refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed
air.
Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures and can result
in fire or explosion causing injury or property damage. Never use compressed air to pressure test R-134a service equip-
ment or vehicle air conditioner systems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery whenever replacing air conditioning parts.
2. Keep moisture and dust out of the system. When disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings immediately; don't
remove the caps or plugs until just before you reconnect each line.
3. Before connecting any hose or line, apply a few drops of refrigerant oil to the O-ring.
4. When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a second wrench to support the matching fitting.
5. When discharging the system, use a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station; don't release refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
6. Add refrigerant oil after replacing the following parts:
NOTE:
To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refriger-
ant oils.
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall 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 contacts the paint, wash
it off immediately.
When replacing the evaporator pressure regula-
tor, drain the oil from the removed evaporator
pressure regulator, and fill the new evaporator
pressure regulator with the same amount of oil.

removed compressor from 140 m (4 2/3 fl-oz, 4.9 Imp-oz), and drain the calculated
volume of oil from the new compressor: 140 m (4 2/3 fl-oz, 4.9 Imp-oz) — Volume
of removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE: Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don't drain more
than 50 m (1 2/3 fl-oz, 1.8 Imp-oz) from the new compressor.

ditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigerant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures and can
result in fire or explosion causing injury or property
damage. Never use compressed air to pressure test R-
134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recover/recycling/
charging station to the vehicle, as shown, following
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert a thermometer in the center air vent. Deter-
mine the relative humidity and air temperature.
3. Test conditions:
Avoid direct sunlight.
Open hood.
Open front doors.
Set the temperature control dial on MAX COOL,
the mode control switch on VENT and the recir-
culation control switch on RECIRCULATE.
Turn the A/C switch on, and the fan switch on
MAX.
Run the engine at 1,500 rpm.
No driver or passengers in vehicle
4. After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes
under the above test conditions, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent
and the high and low system pressure from the A/C
gauges.
