10. All Removed Parts - Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- If you are installing a new A/C condenser, add the appropriate refrigerant oil for the A/C compressor which installed to the vehicle .
- New O-rings should be used at each fitting. Prior to installation, apply a thin coat of the same refrigerant oil used in the A/C compressor . Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
- 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, because it may damage painted surfaces. If refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off with water immediately.
- Be careful not to damage the radiator and A/C condenser fins when installing the A/C condenser.
- Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant .
