(2) Wipe away (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install then new compressor.

New compressor oil amount
100 cm3 - X cm3 = Y cm3
(3.4 fl.oz. - x fl.oz. = y fl.oz.)


NOTE
(1) Y cm3 (y fl.oz.) indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the evaporator etc.
(2) When replacing the following parts as well as the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of the each part from Y cm3 (Y fl.oz.) and discharge from the new compressor.
