entire refrigerant circuit. However the amount of PAG oil
supplied with the replacement compressor may not be the
exact amount to replenish the refrigerant circuit. Drain and
measure the PAG oil in the replacement compressor to
determine the required amount. If the amount needs to be
adjusted, do so using the correct type of PAG oil specified
in ETKA. Refer to Elsa for the correct oil capacity for the
compressor being installed.
