- Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate engine at 1000-1500 RPM, and set controls at maximum cooling and high blower motor speed for 10 minutes (20 minutes on Subaru) to return oil to compressor.
- Stop engine. Discharge refrigerant and remove compressor from vehicle. See SERVICING PRECAUTIONS at beginning of article. Drain compressor oil from compressor discharge port and measure oil amount.
- 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 adjust oil level as follows.
- If amount drained is 3.2 ounces or more, 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.
