Hi Jeff... It takes a special air compressor oil for your compressor. Go to the nearest Walmart, Loews, or Home Depot and purchase the oil for your air compressor. To find the oil level look on the stick that measures the oil and it will give you a fill level. Bud
Most oil producers publish helpful application catalogues for their products. Some companies even dispense with technical specification and label simply "Compressor Oil" which removes much guesswork.
In the case of difficulty most larger towns will have a small company supplying all manner of hoses, pipes, seals, connectors and general trade and industrial requisites and often carrying out hydraulic repairs. Specialised lubricants are routine business for such companies.
Compressor pump oil is available at Lowes (Kobalt brand) or Home Depot (Campbell Hausfeld brand). If you do not have a lumber center neer you then just go to auto parts store and buy 30wt non detergent motor oil. If you work your compressor very hard, buy synthetic oil (also at lumber center). The synthetic oil will take much higher temperature but cost twice as much. If you do not work you compressor all that hard however, stick with the lower price oil and change a little more often. Good luck!
If it takes oil, you should use air compressor oil or, if you cannot find this product at your full service auto parts store, use SAE 30 non detergent.
Any aftermarket refrigerant additives (the ones you can buy at Wal-Mart, for example) come with the oil already in place. It is a synthetic oil - for this reason, it is incompatable with older refrigerants, which used mineral oils. A note of advice - if you don't know exactly what you are doing with the A/C system, take it to a professional, as you can really mess it up (overcharging the system, allowing impurities in, etc). If you cannot afford this, at least buy one of the more expensive refrigerant refills that have the guage calibrated to the temperature outside. Good luck!
If I remember correctly, the illumination wire is orange, this depends on the model year and whether it is a facelift vehicle or not.
Hope this info is OK
