Oil Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Subaru Forester and 2000 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After stabilization and discharge, replace the component, adding the appropriate amount of oil (ZXL200PG) to the new component before installation.

Fig 1: Refrigerant Oil Capacity Chart
If the compressor is replaced (after stabilization):
1. Drain and measure the oil from the original compressor.
2. Drain the oil from the replacement compressor and refill with the same amount that was drained from the original [20 ml (0.7 US fl oz, 0.7 Imp fl oz) minimum]. Always use ZXL200PG for the replacement oil.
