Refrigerant oil

Refrigerant oils from containers which have been open for a longer period of time are unusable. Because refrigerant oil is very hygroscopic, opened containers must be closed airtight immediately after use to prevent moisture from entering.
Refrigerant oil can be obtained using following part number for
6SES14C; Denso G 052 300 A2
11PXE14; Sanden G 052 154 A2
6CVC140; Delphi. G 052 154 A2 /G 052 300 A2
Hybrid; Visteon G 052 535 M2
Type Total capacity → Remark
6SES14C; Denso 110 ± 10 cm 3
11PXE14; Sanden 75 ± 10 cm 3
6CVC140, Delphi 110 ± 10 cm 3
Hybrid; Visteon 120 ± 10 cm 3
  1. This quantity of refrigerant oil is contained in a replacement air conditioner compressor and corresponds to the total capacity.

Oil distribution

The oil, which is located in the sump of the air conditioner compressor before the air conditioner system is switched on for the first time, distributes itself through the refrigerant circuit as follows:

Air conditioner compressor approx. 50 %

Condenser approx. 10 %

Suction hose approx. 10 %

Evaporator approx. 20 %
