  1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for maximum cooling and high blower speed, for 10 minutes to return oil to compressor.
  2. Stop engine, discharge refrigerant using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and remove compressor from vehicle. Drain oil from compressor suction port. Measure amount of oil drained. If amount drained was more than 2.4 ounces, refill with same amount of new oil. If amount drained was less than 2.4 ounces, refill with 2.4 ounces.
