How to Drain and Add AC Compressor Refrigerant Oil

www.buyautoparts.com/ac-compre...
AC compressor refrigerant oil capacity is usually stamped on the compressor. After you add oil to the ac compressor you should cycle the ac compressor by rotating the clutch plate three to four times. Remember to check the compressor to see how much refrigerant oil is recommended.

How do I flush a Gm R4 Harrison a/c compressor. This compressor looks brand new and appears to have been a very recent replacement before this 1993 Buick Roadmaster Limited winded up in a salvage yard. The vehicle still had plenty of Freon in it's still closed system, which appeared to have been converted from R12 to the R134A Freon, because it had the R134A adapter fittings on the dryer & high side line. However when I opened the system a bright green color substance was captured,leak detector?

informative. My 91 explorer takes 7oz. As mentioned below, it should be around 4 to 5 oz in the compressor and the other 2 to 3oz in the evaporator and accumulator/drier. I just got a new Denso compressor. Denso says that it should be plug and play and that the right amount of oil is already in the unit. Well... I turned it down and hardly anything drained out. I let it drip for about an hour and I'd say that only about 10-20 drips of oil came out! Good thing I checked. So, make sure you check your new compressor, even if the manufacturer says it already comes with oil in it.

[@teravolt6113]

May i add something important to this comment. Always use DEC (double end capped) PAG oil whenever DIYing. That way, you won't have to worry about the oil catching moisture while handling it. Even though they're cheaper, leave SEC (single end capped) PAG and Ester (they're both hygroscopic) to shops equipped with AC machines.

[@genesloan9188]

I added 7.5 oz and compressor isn't turning but clutch is engaging. I didn't cycle by hand turning the compressor, so does it have block or is the clutch worn out. Compressor is 160k miles OEM ACdelco on 03 Trailblazer...

Hello I have a 2004 Bmw X5 the compressor stuks for a while the first minutes. I read about add ICE 32 oil how much oil I can add without damaging the compressor? Can I recovery some oil from the installed compressor?

[@jacobcoxwell10]

thanks man you helped me, how do you measure the right amount without pulling the compressor.

[@ojpahati1213]

Seems to work well in my car (99 Honda Civic LX)

[@carolwozneski2646]

My truck started leaking a clear oily fluid today out of the blue. I drove it 4 day's ago and not since. The A/C Compressor did stop working about 2 weeks ago, could it have just been compressor oil finally leaking out? It makes no sense. All fluids I can see to check are fine. The only fluid I cannot check is this and Transmission. Any ideas?

[@Mrdice_m]

I have a OTR AC compressor but don't say how much oil should I put on can I just put 6 oz it's for a big rig

Be careful when turning the compressor shaft it will blow oil ever where like in your eye

[@fernandoborda]

How you separate the oil from the freon when you are recovering?

[@ronkentwellstein6352]

Does anyone know about the fx15 ford compressed there is a bolt on the rear of it looks like u put oil in there do u,it looks like a little dip stick.the reman says 8 ounces of pag,not 8 in the suckion line shorely.

How do I know where to add oil in the c9mpressor?..hi side or low side and which is which on the compressor port for a chevy 1981 truck...also is it a good idea to add oil to the dryer?

[@thesmoothjazzguy2012]

I believe you should put most oil into the compressor, and some in your accumulator (found with orifice tube systems), or put a small amount in your liquid line receiver dryer (TXV systems).

[@user-xo3bz6on1x]

Oil is added from the suction hatch only

[@2derekjeter2]

I have a 2000 honda civic ex that started making a hi pitch noise a mechanic told me the compressor was probably going bad so he had me cut the belt that goes to it and noise stopped , he wanted me to replace it for another one after seeing this video is it possible it just needed oil? Ive never done maintenance to it.

[@BuyAutoPartsDOTcom]

eli madr Very likely, but hard to tell since we're not there to diagnose it. Maybe bring it to another shop for a second opinion? If you need a new compressor; hit us up and we'll get it to you cheaper than any shop, same quality.

[@ImGerald]

mines works but makes a lot of noise. I think it needs oil in it. Does any of the new compressors come with the oil in them already, so all that we have to add is the freon?

[@BuyAutoPartsTV1]

Hi Gerald, sometimes they do but most of the time they do not. We have this handy guide for oil level, but it ends at the 2012 model year: www.buyautoparts.com/howto/bap_air_conditioning_system_oil_chart.pdf Thanks, BuyAutoParts.com

[@GetClipped775]

Would it make like a hissing noise

[@cfh13]

Is there a way to add oil to the compressor installed in the car without some sort of injector? I have a bottle of oil but no way to inject it. Can i pour it in the low pressure side. Im replacing the entire high pressure line and have the tools to make a vacuum and check its level.

[@TheOwlGuy777]

You can get an oil charge can.

[@jjenson2006]

If you're pouring it in, it means the system is open and there is no pressure. You should be adding it to the high side, not the low side. The low side is the suction side of the compressor and a compressor cannot compress a liquid directly. You will blow the compressor up if you poured it in the low side before recharging.

[@haroldmckiver310]

J D can oil be added from top side up to eight oz

[@adilalhumady1672]

nice

[@LatinoLoveRocket]

is it supposed to spit my oil back out when I rotate the clutch?

[@garyduncan5866]

yes it will blow it evertwhere

[@Patrick_Gray]

I owned an automotive air conditioning and radiator shop starting in 1973. Still open to day 48 years later. We always flush the old oil and debris out of the system when we change a compressor. There should be instructions in the box with the compressor as to what kind of oil and how much oil it has in it. When in doubt, drain and add the proper amount and type of oil. * 4 Seasons has a great guide for the oil in a compressor at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3PMfZSZrMeUhdk It covers where to add the oil so the compressor gets oil on startup but not slugged with oil. Some compressors have a crank case and some get lubricated with the returning refrigerant and mist of oil.

[@chadrose]

Agreed Patrick, I have an 05 accord j30 and did the compressor, condenser coil, accumulator/drier and TXV all with 4 Seasons on RockAuto and added some PAG46 oil to all parts that equals the amount for the car, then pulled a vacuum and charged the system. And it is cooling great and no slugging on the compressor

[@stout890]

so to clarify, the new compressor came full of oil and you have to empty it to measure it. than you adjust the amount to what your car calls for and than pour that amount back into the compressor?

[@SergeantExtreme]

+jason stout No, the amount of oil you add to your compressor should be stamped on the compressor itself. As you use the AC compressor, some of the oil will burn up, so it will be less than the proper amount.

[@stout890]

gotcha ok thanks!, that makes sense. when i did mine last week the old compressor had a lot less oil in it than i ended up leaving in the new one. my cars manual said "even if no oil drains out of the old compressor do not remove more than 50ml of oil from the new compressor" so i took out 50ml and installed it.

[@yourface3154]

+jason stout I wouldn't have taken any out.

[@stout890]

i think it will be fine. i had a brand new factory pump and the Honda efsm that i fallowed to a tee. thanks for the response your vid was vary helpful

[@dthomas7944]

If I buy a used compressor do I still need to put oil in it

[@drgeoscott]

Only if stated on compressor. Some come with oil already added.

[@TheCatMilton]

Do you add the oil to the low or high side?

[@TheCatMilton]

Alright I did it correctly then.

If I flush my entire system of oil, can I add the entire recommended system oil to the new compressor or should I add half to the compressor and the other half to the dryer, etc.?

[@wd8dsb]

@@maciejolejniczak151 It all depends on your vehicle. You need to use the amount specified for your specific vehicle.

[@wd8dsb]

My Saturn SW1 required something like 5 or 6 total ounces as I recall so you can see every system is different.

[@FelipeMartinez-gu5xx]

On which hole do i put the oil in high or low

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

Just a guess, but I'd say low, since that should be the inlet, and high should be the outlet. The refrigerant becomes high pressure due to the pump pushing it out.

[@FelipeMartinez-gu5xx]

Thank u

how many ounces of pag-46 goes into BuyAutoParts 60-02113NA ?

[@kornshadow097]

He should of cycled it with half the oil in first... Who else caught the oil shooting out as he cycled it after adding it in?

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

Looked like a bubble to me. Makes sense, as there's just air in there till the oil is restored.

[@marcsmith3881]

Agreed! That was the oil blowing out because that is what happens. I usually add a little and then turn it. Add the rest and then turn it on the vehicle with everything together.

I read you shouldn't add the oil directly to the compressor.

[@Perplexer1]

0:34: "With all the oil emptied out of the compressor, now you're gonna wanna add the capacity that's recommended by the manufacturer..." Does that mean the original quantity of oil that was already inside (pre-filled by the manufacturer) was incorrect? What kind of nonsense is that?
