How much PAG oil is in a Honda CRV?
My new compressor says it contains 5.3 oz of pag-46 oil. The instructions say to empty the oil in new compressor and then add half the oil charge to the compressor and other half to system. Refrigerant capacity is 17 – 18.7 ounces.
Do you have to use PAG oil for an A / C compressor?
“Universal” A/C compressor oilsare often PAO-based and are not the same viscosity as the PAG oil recommended for a specific type of compressor. This can lead to poor lubrication and premature compressor failure. Newer vehicles with R-1234yf A/C systems require a special 1234yf compressor oilspecified by the vehicle manufacturer.
What kind of oil to use when replacing a Honda compressor?
First, I believe you are right that PAG 46 is the correct oil for the original compressor (I know this to be the case for 2001 which calls for Denso ND-OIL 8). Just to make sure, you are replacing it with the same model compressor aren’t you?
What’s the viscosity of Pag 46 motor oil?
PAG 46, PAG 100 and PAG 150 oils all have different viscosities, just as 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W40 motor oils have different viscosities. You should not intermix different viscosities because the viscosity of the mixture may be “out of range” for the appliction for a number of reasons.

What kind of oil do you put in a Honda Accord?
Additionally, General Motors issues Bulletin # 02-01-39-004B replacing PAG 150 oil with a lower viscocity oil. Thus, TechChoice now indicates PAG 46 (P46D) oil for those vehicles. All Engines – w/ Matsushita Compressor
