Pag oil, type & amount

[fixkick]

in a pro a/c shop
they use flush first.
when a compressor fails, it can leave (bits of metal, ) contamiation in the system and my damage the new compressor
so after recovery, of Freon, they flush. it. (in the reverse im told and for sure at condenser , in the reverse)

for sure, the compressor maker, sets the rules on the oil, not Suzuki, Geo/GM, nor anyone else.
not what was true, 20 years ago,, use what the modern compressor maker states. (both the compressors have evolved and oils, )

the only thing not shown in FSM is the system volume. (sadly)


some web sites stated its 21 ounces. volume
and 6oz of pag 46,
or 177cc. (converted to cc)

Flush kits.

The mixing of oil is my concern as well. I read on a couple a/c sites and forums that even if you drain and change to a different compressor oil and flush the old components that a film of the old oil remains. The Johnson control page about oils & capacities said to use pag 100 in the Tracker and pag 46 in the Sidekick but the capacity is the same. I really hope that I have pag 46 in it now since the new one came with it already installed. ( i think this is old data)

refr: (20oz systems are about average)

except:



so if capacity is 21 oz.
then the compressor makers datasheets will work to calculate the correct oil, type and cc , amount.
