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 speci®ed 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)
LUBRICANT
Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the ¯owchart shown
below.
START
Can lubricant return operation be per-
formed?
+A/C system works properly.
+There is no evidence of a large amount of
lubricant leakage.
No
cYe s
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 30ÉC (77 to 86ÉF).]
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.
Should the compressor be replaced?
No Yes
b
jA(Go to next page.)
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
cYe 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 ¯ow
chart.
*2: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
Carry out the A/C performance test.b

1. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery/
recycling equipment.
2. Remove the drain plug of the ``old'' (removed) compressor. Drain the lubricant into a graduated container and record the
amount of drained lubricant.
3. Remove the drain plug and drain the lubricant from the ``new'' compressor into a separate, clean container.
4. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from ``old'' compressor. Add this lubricant to ``new''
compressor through the suction port opening.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to ``new'' compres-
sor through the suction port opening.
6. Torque the drain plug.
14-16Nzm (1.4 - 1.6 kg-m, 10 - 12 ft-lb)
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m!(0.2 Imp ¯ oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m!(0.2 Imp ¯ oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

Checking Refrigerant Leaks
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, ®ttings, hoses,
and components for signs of A/C lubricant leakage, damage and
corrosion.
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec-
tor or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set
properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
speci®ed maintenance.
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C
components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield washer
¯uid, solvents and cleaners, may falsely trigger the leak detec-
tor. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are clean. Do not
allow the sensor tip of the detector to come into contact with
any substance. This can also cause false readings and may
damage the detector.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point
to be checked.
2. When testing, circle each ®tting completely with probe.
