AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the refriger- ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the lubricant, NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S or the exact equivalents.

CAUTION

The use of any other refrigerant or lubri- cant will cause severe damage to the air conditioning system and will require the replacement of all air conditioner sys- tem components.

The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the earth’s atmosphere, certain governmental regulations require the recovery and recycling of any refrigerant during automotive air conditioner system service. A NISSAN dealer has the trained technicians and equipment needed to recover and recycle your air conditioner system refriger- ant.
