Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify that the vehicle’s A/C system uses R134a refrigerant and Pag 46 oil to ensure compatibility. The Four Seasons 68229 compressor comes pre-filled with oil and includes the clutch assembly, but mounting hardware is not included and must be sourced separately. Proper torque specifications should be followed for the tangent mount to avoid leaks or misalignment. Check the pulley groove count and belt type to confirm fitment with the existing serpentine belt system. Electrical connections use a pin-type terminal, so ensure connectors are clean and secure.
