Please follow the instructions for compressor installation in the Technical Information System (TIS), 2003 Sequoia Manual, Air Conditioning: Compressor and Magnetic Clutch. 15. System Oil Requirements After the A/C system has been opened and evacuated, the correct quantity of lubricating oil must be restored to the system. Following a replacement of a large component, the repair manual specifies the exact amount of oil to be recharged in addition to the amount removed during recovery. A new or remanufactured compressor will come filled with 200 cc of oil. A. The Sequoia dual A/C system oil requirement has been increased from 200 cc to 300 cc. (Refer to Production Change Information on page 1.) B. Each time a compressor and receiver/dryer are removed from a system, approximately 100 cc of oil is removed with them, leaving the remaining oil in the system. Keep this in mind when adding a new compressor with 200 cc of oil. 16. Charge System with Refrigerant A. Evacuate air from the system. B. Charge system with refrigerant to specified amount and inspect for leakage. Specified amount (dual A/C): 1,050 +/ 50 g (37.03 +/ 1.76 oz.) Page 11 of 11
