Refrigerant Oil Addition

Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor

After replacing any of the following major components, add the
correct amount of lubricant to the system.




Amount of lubricant to be added.




Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Compressor Replacement
1. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery recycling equipment.
2. Remove the drain plug of the "old" (removed) compressor (applicable only to V-5, V-6 or DKS-16H compressor). Drain the lubricant into a graduated container and record the amount of drained lubricant.
3. Remove the drain plug and drain the lubricant from the "new" compressor into a separate, clean container.
4. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from "old" compressor. Add this lubricant to "new" compressor through the suction port opening.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to "new" compressor through the suction port opening.
6. Torque the drain plug.
V-5 or V-6 compressor:
18 - 19 N.m (1.8 - 1.9 kg-m, 13 - 14 ft-lb)
DKS-16H compressor:
14 - 16 N.m (1.4 - 1.6 kg-m, 10 - 12 ft-lb)
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 ml (0.2 US fl.oz, 0.2 Imp fl.oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 ml (0.2 US fl.oz, 0.2 Imp fl.oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.
