COMPRESSOR (for 2GR-FXE) INSTALLATION

ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL

When replacing the compressor with motor assembly with a new one, after gradually discharging the refrigerant gas from the service valve, drain the following volume of oil from the new compressor with motor assembly before installation.

Standard
(Oil capacity inside a new compressor with motor assembly: 120 + 15 cc (4.06 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor with motor assembly)) = Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor with motor assembly.

Note

When checking the compressor oil level, follow the A/C system's precautions.
If a new compressor with motor assembly is installed without removing some oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount becomes excessive. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigerant failure.
If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor with motor assembly and magnetic clutch is too small, check for oil leakage.
Be sure to use ND-OIL 11 for compressor oil.
