Replacement

1. A/C Refrigerant Oil - Replace

Recommended POE oil: Delphi RL85HM

P/N 38899-RLV-A01: 40 m L(1 1/3 fl oz)

It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the A/C compressor.

Too little oil damages the A/C compressor; too much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system, and can produce high vent temperatures.

• To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
• Use the refrigerant oil immediately after opening the container, and dispose of any unused oil. The oil rapidly absorbs moisture, which damages its electrical insulating (for hybrids) and lubricating properties.
• Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle, because it may damage painted surfaces. If refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off with water immediately.

Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts:

NOTE: If no oil was drained from the removed A/C compressor, do not drain more than 50 mL (1 2/3 fl oz) from the new A/C compressor.
