Handling Of Oil

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
  2. Do not mix with other oil.
  3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a and R-1234yf compressor oils are prone to absorb moisture.)
  4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
