CALSONIC V5 5-Cylinder

  1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at 1000-1500 engine RPM, and set controls at maximum cooling and blowing speed for 20-30 minutes to return oil to compressor.
  2. Stop engine. Discharge refrigerant and remove compressor from vehicle. See SERVICING PRECAUTIONS at the beginning of this article. Drain compressor oil from compressor discharge port and measure oil amount. Oil may be hard to drain if compressor is cool. Drain oil while compressor is warm.
  3. If amount drained is less than 3.2 ounces, conduct leak tests at system connections. Repair or replace faulty parts as necessary. Check purity of oil and oil level as follows.
  4. If amount drained is more than 3.2 ounces, oil level is okay; fill with same amount drained using new oil. If amount drained is less than 3.2 ounces, pour in 3.2 ounces of new refrigerant oil.
