[@mrau92me]

To save time trying to completely drain the new comp's oil (as long as it has the correct type in it), just drain the bulk of it out and turn the clutch until very little comes out, then do the exact same thing with the old compressor except measure how much comes out. That will be the amount you need to put back into the new compressor. I recommend a Haynes manual, it will tell you how much to put into the system for each ac component that you're replacing.

[@user-ih3mq4in8u]

Thanks another for everything you me it really helps a lot

[@olenaerhardt7725]

It is very good and detailed film on changing oil in the compressor, so many tips, thank you very much. If I need to replace the oil fm the compressor and not sure what exactly oil is there, can I flush it out? Is it possible? With the special flush liquid, like what we use to flush the evaporator e. g. The car AC (it is 2001 Saturn SL2) works on PAG oil (that is what Shop Manual says, they don't specify which PAG of 3 types). PAG oil comes in 3 types 46, 100, 150. As far as I understand you can use any, but you can't mix them. The car was in the dealer shop like 10 years ago, and they replaced the compressor 3 times, but shortly after AC stopped working anyway. I think that is bcs they didn't replaced the Condenser, I've read that the clogged Condenser can cause the Compressor to fail. I'm replacing everything besides the Evaporator (which I will flush of course) I think. Or if so little oil is left after proper draining it doesn't matter what PAG was there? Thank you again.

[@E85_STI]

On a 2005 scion xb there’s a little oil pan and gasket that Holds oil and I’m replacing parts and I’m going to drain and fill it by removing the pan as idk if the manufacturer added the correct amount of oil like you said.

[@PopdaddysBBQ]

So I have a new compressor..drained like you said... so 3 oz....BUT... I ALSO REPLACED THE accumulator (charts says est 3 oz ) and receiver dryer (chart says for a dual evap it's1 oz ) and I some leaked out of the hoses when I broke them apart (3 oz as a "major leak) so that's 10 oz... they gave me 8 oz in the compressor box. But it came with an accumulator. Have I forgotten anything? I feel like I have. 2006 expedition dual evap of course front and back. Total supposed to be 14 oz.

[@MockOverdrive]

Thanks! I like the details of making sure it's properly lubricated. Also, I hope you took a sledgehammer 🔨 to that annoying beeping sound! ⏰️

[@leonardcleveland5425]

Ok good video! Question: once you install the compressor, you said to start up the engine and turn on the compressor intermittently. I assume that this is so that the compressor will engage, and further lubricate the pulley end. But how will this happen since you havnt added freon, the clutch wont engage right?

[@mrau92me]

Turning the ac off and on is after everything is charged up. It's got nothing to do with helping lubricate, only breaking in the clutch material, helping be sure it doesn't glaze over

[@1rtt1]

Cool vid thanks. I got a 2002 grand marquis. Bought used and the a/c didn't work. Then the fan stopped working in warmer weather, but works in cold weather. Figure with the a/c not working a sensor is keeping blower from kickin on. Started watchin vids. Finally started giving it a good look see. Looks like my condenser was smashed in. Thinkin of just replacing everything Condenser, Compressor, Drier/Accumulator and lines. Its an old car can get an a/c kit for 250. Would probably end up changin parts on top of the condenser anyway

[@youtubestar]

the good thing about the older models is they are a lot easier to work on and repair is ALOT easier. Good luck with your repair. Should go smoothly.

On my 3.7 L Ford Flex the old OEM compressor didn’t have any oil in it when removed. Salvage yard replacement was also empty. I sucked Ford pag oil in through the high side but I don’t know why the original compressor had no oil.

[@PopdaddysBBQ]

Okay Did this, seals replaced... now.. did you take it to a dealer to charge? Vac it down? U got any video on recharging with 134 a or did you take it to a dealer for that?

[@jayb391]

Thanks for the tip. I have instructions to only put half the required oil into the compressor and the rest 'throughout the system'. is this an unusual process for installation maybe specific to my system as you didn't mention you did this. thxs

[@youtubestar]

Hey Jay. Every application may differ depending on your vehicle. I do not want to give you wrong info here. The video was showing how to do it on my particular truck. If you cannot figure out the answer send me your make model of your vehicle and ill get you the correct info. But I think one simple call to your local dealer will probably get you the right answer. Thanks for reaching out bud.

[@Quest4Unknown]

Research your system capacity for the PAG oil.. replace with what your system recommends. Drain and replace with pag. Go to a local shop to evacuate the refrigerant then after your repairs get vacuumed for moisture and hold vacuum for 30 mins at least. Then charged. Your Tip! Of new compressor shipping oil leave upturned definitely 👍🏼edit to say some compressor need total amount and good to go, others distribute otherwise hydro lock and boom.

[@johnwojcik8419]

What about residual oil still in the system? Like in the condenser coil? Just wondering. I need to service my truck also.

[@jdaz5462]

I think this is what I did wrong. I replaced my entire AC system on my Ford Escape, but I think I may have put too much oil. I'm ripping the entire system out and doing it again to make sure there's no debris in there. Everything will be brand new. Hopefully this goes well.

[@richardrandall1852]

After have clutch side down do you turn compressor with spanner wrench , plugs in?

[@AlexandrForgot]

I do such work in Ukraine. thanks for the video, useful information. I highly recommend it.

[@phillippardo5712]

So you said to turn on and off your ac about 12 times? That's interesting. I haven't heard that one. Does this replace the need to turn the clutch 12 revolutions after attaching lines? If so, that is a great idea!

[@slickdrumheller]

This breaks in the clutch friction material by doing this

[@mrcadzilla]

My serpentine belt flops right before going around the ac compressor pulley, even with a new belt and tensioner, as though the ac compressor is resisting getting turned by the belt. Would it be due to oil level of ac compressor?

[@diegopalomino1200]

Nice video, when I add oil to my Nissan 2008 new compressor and I roatate it oil wants shoot out of the other side, am I doing something wrong?

[@Randomguy-kn3nv]

[@bradstubbings9871]

What if I don't have the evac system to empty the old pump before removing it from the truck. Mine is a 95 F350 CrewCab Dullay with the 7.3 powerstroke. The ac compressor is on top and easy to get to.

[@youtubestar]

You can install an access valve on both the low and high-pressure ends of the system. Then you depress the access valve on the high-pressure side while letting pressure on the low-side drop to the lowest point possible.

I filled mine with oil only through the suction port. Did I make a mistake and have to do it again? I haven’t yet run the compressor..

[@skulledmonte84]

I have recharged my system and it's working great.but I think I should have added oil. Can I add oil without having to drain, the system and star over ?

[@bracsim]

There is a tool specifically for that, search it.

[@kenjams]

I have a GMC van that calls for 11oz of oil. Is that too much to put all into the compressor, or should I put some of it in the dryer/accumulator?

[@youtubestar]

if im not mistaken I believe 3 oz goes into the accumulator. However, I would call the dealer and confirm. Did you drain the entire system or is there still oil in the system. All of this makes a difference. Thanks so much for reaching out and tuning in.

[@kenjams]

@@youtubestar I disconnected the lines and used a solvent flush on the lines, evaporators and the condenser. Sure I removed 98% of the oil. I have 6oz in the compressor and 5 OZ in the evaporator side of the dryer.

[@MegaRiffraff]

When you pull vacuum before the recharge will it pull some of the oil out ?

[@youtubestar]

Well that all depends. Rather than explain it all here I'm going to send you a link to an article you better understand what you're doing. A/C question - PAG oil and vacuuming. - Maxima Forums maxima.org/forums/4th-generation-maxima-1995-1999/704523-c-question-pag-oil-vacuuming.html

As long as you don't engage the compressor then you should be fine.

After flushing my Altima system I filled new compressor (which came empty) with 4.34 oz as manual says. But it didn’t take them all (took about 3.5 oz) then the compressor not engaging when I turn on a/c and it stalls the engine when I jump the pressure switch Any thoughts Thanks

[@youtubestar]

There's a few reasons why the compressor may not be engaging. You could have a poor ground wire. You could also have a bad clutch coil wire have you checked the clutch coil wire to make sure it is secure and good? I know this sounds silly as well but did you check the AC compressor fuse? If all of that checks out then you either have a low pressure problem or a bad clutch coil.

Hello How much i have to add oil for compressor AC ford edge 2009?

[@Otsp922]

If the compressor runs/leaks out of oil would that cause your compressor clutch to not engage anymore?

[@youtubestar]

The most common reason the ac clutch fails is usually due to an open wire. Is there any corrosion on the wires? Any brittle wires not making good contact? Could be a bad clutch plate also. They do overheat and fail. But check your wiring and fuses also. That would be a good place to start.

[@Otsp922]

@@youtubestar all fuses and relays are good. I’ll do a little more wire tracing and double check all that. The clutch does free spin by hand so it’s not seized up. I noticed about a month ago when I was underneath the car working on other stuff on the car that there was oil under the compressor like it may be leaking from somewhere. It’s a remanufactured compressor that I replaced last august as well as every other component on my AC system is brand new and replaced last august. After replacing everything I went to a shop and had them professionally Evac and recharge the system and it blew cold until just this past Friday.

[@rfalco627]

Compressor comes in two halves - you’ll see the seam in the middle. U may have torqued the compressor unevenly or too tightly causing compressor to ‘twist’ if fluid is leaking in the middle - that is probably the case. Check the torque spec. Of the compressor bolts to engine

shop vac on the hole while turning it takes far less time

[@olenaerhardt7725]

How to go about the compressor, which has a low pressure port on the bottom of its cylinder, on the side opposite to the clutch side? So the hole is located on the top how you keep it @6:07. The High port is in the same position like in the compressor shown in this film. The hole for Low P port doesn't have any oil around. Should I plugged it in before install? I removed that compressor and now need to clean properly and fill in w/new PAG 100, but in doubts about the procedure, since the shape is different fm/the one shown here. Thank you for your film again.

How to check the oil of the compressor

[@user1142]

I think you gotta drain it

[@michaelthomas-cq9xv]

How do you learn the correct amount of oil needed ?

[@youtubestar]

Check your owners manual and make sure you put the right type in. if you don't it can damage it. if you don't have the manual maybe call the dealer.

[@vigorousboredom7016]

Sometimes there is a tag with a/c information found underneath the hood that lists amount of oil needed for your system, oil type, amount of refrigerant needed for your system, and refrigerant type.

[@eugeniujosanu279]

My issue is with the vacuum .. wouldn't it be better to do this thing after the vacuum? You don t want the lubricant to be sucked back out . I put mine into the lines while the system was under vacuum.. then I reconnected with the freeon

[@kevins5268]

Vacuum shouldn't suck the oil out of the compressor

[@kepler656]

I use an all in one recycle, vacuum recharge machine at my shop. On average, about 1oz of oil is suctioned from the system, and the machine can detect that and automatically add an oz of oil back with the recharge. So Id say in most cases, you are fine adding up to 1 oz of oil after a vacuum and recharge if not using a fancy machine that does it for you

[@fernyc6711]

Do you add it if it says it’s precharged already ?

[@christopherguzman4395]

Why’d you only put 3oz of oil if it needs 4oz of oil?

[@SAYWUT]

Lol what if your new compressor doesn’t have fluid even though it says it came with assembly fluid that needs to be drained

My old compressor had no oil inside... It was completely empty and stuck... I got a new Denso to install and I don't know how much oil should be kept inside... The new unit says "factory filled with oil"... I guess I shouldn't take any oil out of the new unit... Am I right?

[@youtubestar]

Me honestly, I drain every unit I receive and add my own oil. Many times I have done this and never had an issue. I have found a lot of times the unit was not filled with as much as they stated on the factory sticker. If you want to play it on the safe side, do that. If you want to leave it alone and trust them well, you can do that as well.
