What This Compressor Helps Address

• No cold air from the vents

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s compressor ID, refrigerant type, and oil specification before installation. Some fitments note that the compressor is filled with shipping oil only and must be drained and refilled to the correct PAG 46 YF specification before use. Always inspect the system for contamination, replace the receiver/drier or accumulator as required by the service procedure, and evacuate and recharge the system to the manufacturer’s specifications.
