Is Refrigerant Oil Necessary to Add?
1 Answers
Refrigerant oil must be added. Refrigerant oil, also known as refrigeration oil, is essential for the following reasons: 1. Importance: As the lubricating oil for the moving parts inside the compressor, a severe lack of refrigerant oil will significantly impact the lubrication, sealing, and cooling of the compressor. 2. Inspection Method: Observation Port Check: With the air conditioning turned off, observe the refrigerant level through the observation port. If the level is below half, it indicates a lack of refrigerant oil. The detailed amount of refrigerant oil to be added can be found on the compressor's nameplate and in the vehicle's user manual.
