Do I have to add any compressor oil when I fill the freon?
No, the only time you have to add compressor oil is if you have replaced a part in the system. There are tables that show how much oil to add, depending on which part(s) were replaced. COMPRESSOR DOESN’T KEEP SPINNING Q: 2.0 Toyota Camry 4 cylinders What’s happened is that when i turn on my ac, my compressor does start working, but it looses grip. I’m talking about the pulley. When you look at the pulley with the belt on it, there is another thing like a pulley inside it. when ac is off, it doesn’t spin, and that’s how it should be. but when ac is on, it grips and spins for a second or two, then stops. It grips for another second or two, and stops. this goes on forever. when it does grip and spin, the second fan behind radiator starts. (other one keeps running). when it stops spinning, so does the fan. Any suggestions? A: Sounds like its low on refrigerant and its cutting off because of the low pressure, short-cycling. It probably needs to be recharged. ENGINE IDLES REALLY BAD WITH A/C
