Compressor Oil

2002 Hyundai XG 350 V6-3.5LSECTION Compressor Oil
COMPRESSOR OIL
Oil lubricates the compressor and circulates in the system while the compressor is operating. Whenever replacing any component of the system, or when a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the original total amount of oil.

HANDLING OF OIL
1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal filings, etc.
2. Do not mix oils.
3. The moisture content in the oil increases when exposed to the air for prolonged periods. After use, seal the container immediately.

OIL RETURN OPERATION
To check the oil level or add the oil, idle the engine for 20 - 30 minutes with the controls set to maximum cooling and blower level, to return the lubricant to compressor.
