Handling Of Oil

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Kia Sportage and 2012 Kia Sportage. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
  2. Do not mix with other oil.
  3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
  4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
