  2. Before installing the compressor, the refrigerant oil may have to be partially drained:
    1. Refer to the amount of refrigerant oil recorded during the compressor removal.
    2. Subtract the amount recorded from the total system capacity. Refer to REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CAPACITIES . The difference between the total system capacity and the recorded amount is the calculated amount to be drained from the replacement compressor.
  3. Drain the calculated amount of refrigerant oil from the replacement compressor.
