Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
NLHA0160The lubricant in 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:
+Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
+Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)
LUBRICANTNLHA0160S01Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S for CSV613 compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTINGNLHA0160S02Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown
below.
1 LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
+A/C system works properly.
+There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
YesorNo
Ye s©GO TO 2.
No©GO TO 3.
2 PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
+Test 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 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
©GO TO 3.
3 CHECK COMPRESSOR
Should the compressor be replaced?
YesorNo
Ye s©GO TO HA-89.
No©GO TO 4.

(2) First replace at 100,000 km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/36 months. After first replacement,
perform“I”(checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(3) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(4) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, check injection nozzles and if
necessary, replace injection nozzle assembly.

Maintenance items with“
”should be performed more frequently according to“Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
