A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement

Recommended PAG oil: KEIHIN SP-10:
  • P/N 38897-P13-003: 120 mL (4 fl·oz, 4.2 Imp·oz)
  • P/N 38898-P13-003: 250 mL (8 1/3 fl·oz, 8.8 Imp·oz)
  • P/N 38899-P13-A01: 40 mL (1 1/3 fl·oz, 1.4 Imp·oz)

    Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts.
  • To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
  • Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
  • Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off immediately.

    Condenser . 25 mL (5/6 fl·oz, 0.9 lmp·oz)
    Evaporator . 35 mL (1 1/6 fl·oz, 1.2 lmp·oz)
    Line or hose . 10 mL (1/3 fl·oz, 0.4 lmp·oz)
    Leakage repair . 25 mL (5/6 fl·oz, 0.9 lmp·oz)
    Compressor . For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from 85 mL (2 5/6 fl·oz, 3.0 lmp·oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 85 mL ( 2 5/6 fl·oz, 3.0 lmp·oz) - Volume of removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.

    NOTE: Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1 2/3 fl·oz, 1.8 lmp·oz) from the new compressor.


    NOTE: LHD type is shown, RHD type is similar.
