A/C COMPRESSOR OIL CHECKING
1989 GENERAL SERVICING Compressor Refrigerant Oil Checking
ISOLATING COMPRESSOR
1. Connect service gauge set to the compressor service valves and open compressor valves slightly (turn in
clockwise). Start engine and operate air conditioning. Slowly turn compressor suction valve clockwise
toward closed (front-seated) position.
2. When suction pressure is reduced to zero or less, turn off engine and compressor and quickly turn suction
valve stem in to full front-seated position. Suction pressure should be slightly above zero. Turn discharge
valve into front-seated position.
3. To check oil level, slowly open compressor crankcase plug to relieve any remaining pressure. After oil
level is corrected, cap service gauge ports on both valves. Back-seat suction service valve to allow
refrigerant to enter compressor. Open discharge valve halfway.
4. Loosen discharge service valve cap, allowing refrigerant pressure to force air out of compressor. Back-
seat service valve and tighten cap. Compressor is now ready for operation.
REFRIGERANT OIL
Only new, pure, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used in the air conditioning system. This oil is highly
refined and dehydrated to a point where moisture content is less than 10 parts per million. The oil container
must be tightly closed at all times when not in use, or moisture will be absorbed into the refrigerant oil from the
air.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
If compressor has stem-type service valves, it can be isolated and removed without discharging entire system.
Otherwise, discharge system completely using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment before
loosening any fittings.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS TEST
After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when
tightening or loosening fittings to avoid twisting or distorting lines. Cap or plug all openings as soon as lines are
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt to avoid discharging
refrigerant into the atmosphere.
NOTE: Only compressors with stem-type service valves can be isolated.
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt to avoid discharging
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

A/C COMPRESSOR OIL CHECKING 1989 GENERAL SERVICING Compressor Refrigerant Oil Checking

removed. Do not remove caps until immediately before connections are made. This will keep entry of air and
moisture to a minimum.
CONNECTING LINES AND FITTINGS
A new gasket or "O" ring should be used in all instances when connecting lines or fittings. Dip "O" ring in new
refrigerant oil and ensure it is not twisted during installation. Always use 2 wrenches to prevent damage to lines
and fittings.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component service or replacement has been completed and all connections have been made, evacuate
system thoroughly with a vacuum pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant and perform a leak
test. See REFRIGERANT OIL & R-12 SPECIFICATIONS chart in this section for system capacities. Be sure
to check all fittings that have been opened. After system has been leak tested, make a system performance
check.
ATSUGI ROTARY VANE DRAIN & REFILL
1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for
maximum cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to compressor.
2. Stop engine, discharge refrigerant using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and remove
compressor from vehicle. Drain compressor oil from compressor discharge port and measure the amount.
Oil is sometimes hard to drain when compressor is cool. Remove oil while compressor is warm.
3. If the amount drained is less than 3 ounces, conduct leak tests at system connections, and if necessary,
repair or replace faulty parts. Check purity of oil and adjust oil level as follows.
4. If amount drained was above 3 ounces, oil level is right. Pour in same amount as was drained. If amount
drained was below 3 ounces, pour in 3 ounces of new refrigerant oil.
BOSCH 6-CYL DRAIN & REFILL
1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for
maximum cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to compressor.
2. Stop engine and discharge refrigerant using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Remove
refrigerant oil level inspection plug on side of compressor. Oil should be at lower lip of threaded hole.
Add necessary new refrigerant oil (if low). Replace inspection plug and tighten to 10-12 ft. lbs. (14-16
N.m).
DIESEL KIKI ROTARY VANE DRAIN & REFILL
1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for
NOTE: Air conditioning systems will not normally need addition of refrigerant oil
unless definite oil loss has occurred due to ruptured lines, leaking compressor
seals, compressor overhaul or component replacement.

A/C COMPRESSOR OIL CHECKING 1989 GENERAL SERVICING Compressor Refrigerant Oil Checking

maximum cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to compressor.
2. Stop engine, discharge refrigerant using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and remove
compressor from vehicle. Drain compressor oil from compressor discharge port and measure the amount.
Oil is sometimes hard to drain when compressor is cool. Remove oil while compressor is warm.
3. If the amount is less than 2.4 ounces, conduct leak tests at system connections, and if necessary, repair or
replace faulty parts. Check purity of oil and adjust oil level as follows.
4. If amount drained was above 2.4 ounces, oil level is right. Pour in same amount as was drained. If amount
drained was below 2.4 ounces, pour in 2.4 ounces of new refrigerant oil.
DIESEL KIKI 6-CYL DRAIN & REFILL
1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for
maximum cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to compressor.
2. Stop engine, discharge refrigerant using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and remove
compressor from vehicle. Remove oil drain plug and drain oil. Measure amount of oil drained. Install
drain plug with new "O" ring.
3. If amount drained was more than 2 ounces, refill with same amount of new oil. If amount drained was
less than 2 ounces, refill with 2 ounces. Install filler plug and recharge system.
HARRISON 4-CYL DRAIN & REFILL
The Harrison 4-cyl compressor is charged (new) with 6 ounces of refrigerant oil. Because compressor does not
have an oil sump, it should not have to be removed for oil measurement (it retains very little oil). Note the
following situations for checking and adding oil to this compressor.
NO OIL LEAK; REPLACING COMPONENTS
If only the compressor is to be replaced, remove, drain oil, measure and reinstall an equal amount of new oil. If
evaporator is being replaced, add 3 ounces of new oil. If condenser is being replaced, add one ounce.
LOSS OF REFRIGERANT OVER EXTENDED PERIOD
When a loss of refrigerant has occurred over an extended period of time and a component is being replaced to
correct the leak, add an appropriate amount of refrigerant oil to the component.
SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE
If system has lost excessive oil, remove accumulator. Drain and measure oil. If more than 3 ounces is measured,
replace the same amount of new oil as was drained. If less than 3 ounces is measured, add 3 ounces of new oil.
Add and additional 2 ounces of new oil to compensate for that lost by replacing the accumulator (held in
desiccant).
NOTE: The Harrison compressor does NOT have an oil sump. It's crucial that the
compressor remains well oiled. It takes very little time to destroy this
compressor if it runs dry.
