WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TL and 2007 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Recommended PAG oil: DENSO ND-OIL 8

Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount listed if you replace any of the following parts.

A/C condenser .........25 mL (5/6 fl.oz)

Evaporator ...............45 mL (1 1/2 fl.oz)

Line or hose .............10 mL (1/3 fl.oz)

Receiver/Dryer .........10 mL (1/3 fl.oz)

Leakage repair .........25 mL (5/6 fl.oz)

A/C compressor .......For A/C compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed A/C compressor from 120 mL (4 fl.oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new A/C compressor: 120 mL (4 fl.oz) - Volume of removed A/C compressor = Volume to drain from new A/C compressor.

NOTE: Even if no oil is drained from the removed A/C compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1 2/3 fl.oz) from the new A/C compressor.
