10. Install the core in the reverse order of removal and
note these items:
- If you're installing a new evaporator core, add refrigerant oil (SP-10).
- Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings
for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
- Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
- Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
- Make sure that there is no air leakage.
- Charge the system.
