Special Tools Required 

Oil Injector Tool Robinair ROBI 6256, commercially available

*This tool is available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program; call 888-424-6857

Recommended PAG oil: SP-10

• P/N 38897-P13-A01AH: 120 mL (4 fl.oz)

It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the A/C compressor.

Too little oil damages the A/C compressor; too much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system, and can produce high vent temperatures.

• To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
• Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
• Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off immediately.

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

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

Evaporator................35 mL (1 1/6 fl.oz)

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

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

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

A/C compressor........Since the oil separator is equipped inside the compressor for this vehicle, oil drainage is unnecessary at the time of compressor replacement.
