WARNING
NEW CVC compressor assemblies are shipped with a partial Poly-Alkylene Glycol (PAG) refrigerant oil charge. Use of the incorrect PAG oil can result in compressor failure.

  1. If you are replacing the compressor, use the following procedure:
    1. Drain and measure as much of the refrigerant oil as possible from the removed compressor.
    2. Remove the compressor crankcase oil drain plug and drain the crankcase into a clean, graduated container.

    3. Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into the same container. Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
    4. Measure and record the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor. This measurement will be used during installation of the replacement compressor.
    5. Properly discard the used refrigerant oil.
      WARNING
      The refrigerant oil in the A/C system must be balanced during compressor replacement.


      NOTE
      The replacement compressor is shipped with 2.5 oz (74 ml) of refrigerant oil.

    6. Compare the amount of refrigerant oil recorded during compressor removal to the amount of refrigerant oil shipped in the replacement compressor. If the amount of refrigerant oil drained and recorded from the removed compressor is:

      Less than 2.5 oz (74 ml), leave the 2.5 oz (74 ml) in the replacement compressor
      More than 2.5 oz (74 ml), add to the compressor the difference between the 2.5 oz (74 ml) and the amount drained
  2. Install or connect the following:

    The compressor and the bolts to the engine. Tighten the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm)
    New sealing washers on the hose fittings
    The hose assembly to the compressor
    The assembly bolt. Tighten the bolt to 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm)
    The compressor electrical connector
    The auxiliary intercooler pump. Tighten the pump bolt to 88 inch lbs. (10 Nm)
