How to Add Refrigerant Oil to an Automotive Compressor?
1 Answers
Discharge the refrigerant from the crankcase into the condenser to create a vacuum in the crankcase. Prepare the lubricating oil. Use your finger to block the suction pipe opening, then start the compressor to evacuate the air from the crankcase. Immerse the blocked pipe opening into the oil. Once immersed, the oil will be drawn into the crankcase through the pipe. Observe the oil level indicator to ensure the oil reaches the specified level. Open the suction and discharge stop valves to complete the oil addition process.
