For 1990-2009 cars

### Oil Charge Requirement

All SP17 Compressors are supplied with 150 ±10 cc oil charged in the compressor.

Care must be taken to ensure that the required oil quantity should be charged into the A/C system. Shortage of oil will cause compressor durability problems. Excessive oil in the system can result in knocking noise at start up of the compressor.

### Compressor Oil Balancing Procedure

Compressor oil can be charged and drained through the Suction/Discharge Ports. When a compressor is removed from the car for service, there are two methods to properly oil-balance the air-conditioning system:

Important: If major oil loss has occurred such as compressor case cracked, condenser rupture, flush A/C system and fit new replacement compressor. No lubricant check required.

• | First Method

1. | Flush entire A/C system.

2. | Install a complete new SP17 compressor, which is already charged with 150 cc oil.

• | Second Method

1. | Drain and measure lubricating oil from the removed compressor. Measure the amount removed. (Usually, in the SP17 compressor there should retain an amount of 15-60 cc of oil) .

2. | From the new replacement compressor, remove all the lubricating oil approximately 150 cc.

3. | Refill the new replacement compressor with the same amount of lubricating oil as measured in Step One. Use the "new" oil removed from replacement compressor.
