VDOT Compressor System

VDOT COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
Up to 120 ml (4 oz.) of oil can collect in the crankcase. Therefore, it is important when replacing a compressor that the oil in the old compressor crankcase be drained through the drain plug and measured (discard after recording amount).

All replacement compressors will be shipped with 240 ml (8 oz.) of oil in the crankcase. The oil must be drained and retained. Then replace the oil in the same amount as previously recorded from the old compressor.
