AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your INFINITI ve-
hicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-
134a (R-134a) and the oil, NISSAN A/C system oil
Type S or the exact equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system
and will require the replacement of all air con-
ditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
INFINITI vehicle will not harm the earth's ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect
the earth's atmosphere, certain governmental
regulations require the recovery and recycling
of any refrigerant during automotive air condi-
tioning system service. Your INFINITI retailer
has the trained technicians and equipment
needed to recover and recycle your air condi-
tioning system refrigerant.
Contact an INFINITI retailer when servicing your
air conditioning system.
