A/C System Oil Charge Replenishing: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Reno and 2005 Suzuki Forenza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Any oil removed from the A/C system during the recovery process must be replenished at this time.

Use the correct graduated bottle of PAG oil for the R-134a system.
IMPORTANT:
- Keep the oil bottles tightly capped at all times to protect the oil from moisture and contamination.
- You must have an A/C system vacuum for this operation. Never open the oil injection valve while there is positive pressure in the A/C system. This will result in oil blowback through the bottle vent.
- Never let the oil level drop below the pickup tube while charging or replenishing the system, as this will allow air into the A/C system.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use. Add the proper amount of PAG oil to the system.
Close the valve when the required oil charge has been pulled into the system.
