If failure of a component causes particles of metal or other foreign material to be present in system, it is necessary to
flush system. Refer to Troubleshooting Without a Diagnostic Code (WP 0008 00).
N OT E
If too much oil has been added to system and a total of more than 11 fl oz (325 ml) of oil is in sys-
tem, cooling capacity of system will be reduced. If too little oil has been added to system, compres-
sor may fail due to a lack of lubrication.
Add oil to compressor through opening for oil pug or inject oil through ports for charging. Com-
l
pressor must be positioned so refrigerant oil will not flow out of service valves. Do not rest com-
pressor on compressor shaft. Turn compressor shaft by hand when you fill compressor. Oil will
slowly flow into compressor. Only use refrigerant oil approved and recommended.
Add oil to any components being installed.
Inject oil into pressurized systemthrough port for low pressure charging while engine is running
and compressor is operating.

After correct amount of refrigerant oil has been added to system, install compressor and drive belt (WP 0221 00).
