Note. Draining and measuring the amount of lubricating oil of the air conditioning compressor is possible only after the latter has been removed from the vehicle.
1. Drain the lube oil from the inlet and drain port into a clean lube oil drain container as shown in the figure below. Rotate the A/C compressor shaft to more completely drain the lubricating oil.
2. Measure and record the amount of lubricating oil in the A/C compressor cavity. This record will be required for the further process of installing the air conditioning compressor on the vehicle.
3. Discard drained, low lubricant.
