Car is 1997 Audi A6, 2.8L V6.
Compressor is froze. So pull the old one out, ready to put the new one (Behr) in. I read the manual that came with the new compressor and came across something I'm not sure of: Manual reads: ...it is essential to check and/or correct the oil filling level and viscosity according to the manufacturer's instructions before installing the compressor. To do this, drain all the oil. Then fill the compressor with the whole amount of oil prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer. What the hell does this mean? Do I have to drain and refill the oil before installation? What kind of oil do compressors take? Thanks in advance. |

Shop with the right equipment works best.
