Fully synthetic polyalkylene glycol (PAG) refrigeration oil for the lubrication, sealing and cooling of air conditioning compressors and cooling circuits of these systems. Miscible with type R134a refrigerants. Designed according to the requirements of leading manufacturers of compressor equipment and cooling systems.
Product properties:
- Excellent lubricity;
- Effectively cools the compressor;
- Prevents seal deformation.
Designed for air conditioning systems of all kinds of cars and heavy-duty vehicles, off-road (construction, mining, agricultural) and special equipment.
Observe the instructions of the air conditioning system manufacturer in the operating instructions!
To lubricate the sealing gaskets during repair and installation work, apply to the surface of the gaskets with a brush;
When adding or replacing, add oil using a special nozzle;
Store in a tightly closed state after use.
Air conditioning compressors installed in automobiles require the use of strictly defined types of lubricants. Most air conditioners manufactured since 1996 have been using R134a refrigerant and need PAG (polyalkylene glycol) oil to lubricate the compressor mechanisms. Using the wrong refrigerant (compressor) oil or improper viscosity can damage the compressor itself. In most cases, the leading cause of damage to a new compressor is the use of inappropriate or inadequate refrigeration (compressor) oil.
Wet the seals with a brush during assembly. To top up or replace the refrigerant oil use a special filling cylinder and an air conditioning system filling device. Always reseal the package after use to prevent the oil from absorbing moisture from the air.
Automotive air conditioning compressors require specific types of lubricants. Most 1996 and newer A/C systems use the R134a refrigerant and require some type of PAG (polyalkylene glycol) oil for the compressor. If the wrong type of compressor oil or the wrong viscosity compressor oil is used, it may damage the compressor. In fact, the main reason for a newly installed A/C compressor to fail is using the wrong type of compressor oil.
CAUTION:
PAG oils should NEVER be used in hybrid vehicles because they are electrically conductive. POE (polyol ester) oils are usually specified for hybrid cars that have electrically driven A/C compressors because they are non-conductive. Using the wrong oil may allow current to short circuit back through the A/C compressor, creating a shock hazard.
Mineral oils should only be used in older R-12 A/C compressors because R-12 will not mix with the R134a refrigerant.
”Universal” A/C compressor oils are often PAO-based and do not have the same viscosity as the PAG oils recommended for a specific type of compressor. This can lead to poor lubrication and premature compressor failure.
PAO (Polyalphaolefin) oil can sometimes be used as a substitute for certain PAG oils if the compressor manufacturer approves it.
Newer vehicles with R-1234yf A/C systems require a special 1234yf compressor oil specified by the vehicle manufacturer. General Motors recommends GM lubricants only (PAG-PSD1 #19260643 for 2013/14 Cadillac XTS, and PAG-ND12 #19299051 for 2013 Cadillac ATS). Universal compressor oils should NOT be used in R-1234yf applications.
