recovery/recycling equipment. Measure amount of oil drained during A/C
system discharge. Disconnect refrigerant hoses at compressor. Remove
compressor bolts and A/C compressor.
2) Drain and measure oil from suction and discharge ports of
old compressor. Drain oil from replacement compressor and save. Add
the same amount of refrigerant oil to replacement compressor as was
drained from old compressor. When repairing an excessive leak in A/C
system, add one ounce additional oil to compressor.
3) Add proper amount of refrigerant oil to any components
being replaced. DO NOT add more refrigerant oil than A/C system total.
See SANDEN TRS-90 & TR-105 COMPONENT REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES table.
Install compressor. Evacuate, charge and leak test A/C system. Ensure
A/C system operates properly.

1) Slowly discharge A/C system, using approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment. Remove old A/C compressor. Install
compressor oil drain Adapters (SA9149AC-5 and SA9149AC-6) to service
ports. Drain compressor oil from high-side port first and then low-
side port. Rotate compressor clutch plate in both directions to remove
oil from compressor. Measure oil amount drained, and discard oil.
2) New compressors are shipped with 5 ounces of refrigerant
oil and nitrogen gas. Open compressor sealing plugs slowly to release
nitrogen gas. Drain and measure oil into a clean container (this oil
will be used in new compressor).
3) Ensure amount of refrigerant oil in replacement compressor
is the same as amount removed from old compressor plus amount removed
during refrigerant recovery. This represents total system capacity,
minus amount retained in components that have not been replaced. See
ZEXEL COMPONENT REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES table. Install compressor.
Evacuate, charge and leak test A/C system. Ensure A/C system operates
properly.

WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
TIRE REPLACEMENT
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and
correct inflation pressure. Chrysler strongly recommends that you use
tires equivalent to the originals in quality and performance when
replacement is needed. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety, handling and ride of your vehicle. We
recommend that you contact your original equipment tire dealer on any
questions you may have on tire specifications or capability.
