LIQUI MOLY PAG Air Conditioning Oil 46 | 250 ml | Compressor Oil | SKU: 4083

Product Information

There are also various PAG oils with different flow characteristics (viscosities) for use with refrigerant R1234yf. To ensure that the compressor is lubricated correctly when it first engages, you should make sure that the correct amount and viscosity of oil is used. Adding too much dye or other additives will also affect the lubrication effectiveness as this will dilute the Pag oil and have a detrimental effect on the compressor. Original compressor manufacturers dictate the correct oil type and amount required for the correct installation and best performance of the compressor.

Our team of ASE-certified mechanics can change your car’s compressor oil and address any additional A/C system issues. Generally, you should be looking to re-gas your air con system every two years, as it naturally leaks gas over time.

Such duties and taxes are beyond our control as they are set by the Customs Authority of the destination country and depend on a number of factors, such as country of origin of the purchased product, local VAT rates and local import taxes, and it will be your responsibility to pay them if and when asked to by your local authorities. A visible refrigerant leak is a sign that you need to take your vehicle to a car A/C compressor mechanic. If your vehicle lacks compressor oil, there will be some telltale signs like humming sounds, refrigerant leaks, burning smells, and visible smoking.

Due to the great variety of different applications and storage and processing conditions, we cannot guarantee a particular application result. Although less common, another rotary example is the scroll compressor, which features both a fixed and rotating scroll that produces a constant flow of gas and therefore does not incorporate suction or discharge valves, but does again, rely upon a clutch pulley. In short, there is no such thing as universal compressor oil, instead its formulation depends on the mechanism the compressor employs and the refrigerant it compresses. For example, older cars with matching compressors will likely need more lubrication for their A/C compressors to work smoothly. The high viscosity index ensures excellent low temperature flowability and a stable film at high temperatures, confirming the maximum efficiency under all operating conditions.To wet seals during assembly, apply Liqui Moly PAG Air Conditioning System Oil 46 with a brush to ensure that the system is well sealed. Only specially trained professionals should carry out work on air conditioning systems, taking into account the relevant safety precautions and country-specificlegislation.

Genuine OEM compressors are filled at the factory with the total amount of oil of the correct viscosity and type required for the refrigerant circuit. R134a can, however, continue to be used to carry out service and maintenance work on existing R134a systems. Of a similar era is the through-vane compressor that also operates on a fixed output per rotation basis and therefore, likewise, employs a clutch pulley. Only in time will it become apparent if all vehicle manufacturers agree on a single refrigerant, or whether different refrigerants will be used.We introduced the first integrated compressor in the 1950s and were the first to integrate electronics, sensors and special algorithms into climate control systems too, making them smarter, faster and better than ever before. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The most commonly used gas to recharge your air con system is R-1234yf refrigerant gas, and that’s exactly what we sell at Halfords. But again, I've never taken oil out of a new compressor, but if pushed I would remove about an egg cup full from the new compressor. MRL85 provides effective wear protection for metal surfaces for increased system life and improved efficiency and is suitable for both initial fill and service fill.
