ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL
1. When replacing the cooler compressor assembly with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the vents indicated by the arrows in the illustration before installation.

  The drain bolt and washer can be reused.
  
  Standard
  
  (Oil capacity inside the new compressor: 90 + 15 cc (3.04 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor when replacing)
  NOTE:
  - If a new compressor is installed without removing some oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be excessive. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigeration system failure.
  - If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor is too small, check for oil leaks.
  - Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil.
INSTALL COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY WITH PULLEY
1. Using a "TORX" socket wrench (E8), install the compressor assembly with pulley with the 2 stud bolts.
