1999 NISSAN PRIMERA oil level

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
The lubricant used to lubricate the compressor circulates through
the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor
when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage
occurred. It is important to maintain the specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following mal-
functions may result:
lLack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
lExcessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the flowchart shown
below.START
Can lubricant return operation be per-
formed?
lA/C system works properly.
lThere is no evidence of a large amount
of lubricant leakage.
No
EYe s
Perform lubricant return operation, proceeding as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
lTest condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C or AUTO switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature
is 25 to 30ÉC (77 to 86ÉF).]
2. Next item is for CSV613 compressor. Connect the manifold
gauge, and check that the high pressure side pressure is588
kPa (5.9 bar, 6 kg/cm
2, 85 psi) or higher.
If less than the reference level, attach a cover to the front face
of the condenser to raise the pressure.
3. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
4. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubri-
cant return operation.
Should the compressor be replaced?
No Yes

Is there any part to be replaced?
(Evaporator, condenser, liquid tank or in
case there is evidence of a large amount
of lubricant leakage.)
No
EYe s
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct
amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
*1: If compressor is replaced, addition of lubricant is included in the
flow chart.
*2: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
Carry out the A/C performance test.F

1. Check oil level.
2. Remove oil pressure switch.
3. Install pressure gauge.
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNCLC0005
Always replace oil seal with a new one. Refer to EM sec-
tion (“OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT”).

When installing oil pump, apply engine oil to gears.

Make sure that O-ring is fitted properly.
1. Drain engine oil.
2. Remove drive belts.
3. Remove oil pan. Refer to EM section (“OIL PAN”).
4. Remove oil strainer.
5. Remove front cover. Refer to EM section (“TIMING CHAIN”).
6. Install front cover.
7. Reinstall parts in reverse order of removal.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with a
tester.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator dam-
age.
Water Pump
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Drain coolant from radiator.
2. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left front of cylin-
der block and drain coolant.
3. Remove front RH wheel and engine side cover.
4. Remove drive belts.
5. Remove front engine mounting.
6. Remove water pump.
CAUTION:

When removing water pump assembly, be careful not to
get coolant on drive belt.

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be
replaced as a unit.

After installing water pump, connect hose and clamp
securely, then check for leaks using radiator cap tester.
7. Before installing, remove all traces of liquid gasket from mat-
ing surface of water pump using a scraper.

Also remove traces of liquid gasket from mating surface
of cylinder block.
