Review on 🌬️ Denso 471-5012 A/C Compressor: Reliable Cooling Performance for Optimal Comfort by Gregory Plump

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Job done at a good price - parts missing

So far so good. Completed work costs less than $250 compared to $1,000 in store. The only problem is that there are no instructions. Not to do the job, you can watch it on YouTube, but it says it's pre-filled with compressor oil, but the amount isn't listed anywhere. The amount of oil varies between models, so I had to pour as much as I could into a measuring cup and add a few ounces. I believe it came with just over 4 ounces preloaded. It took me about 9. Also, most compressors come with replacement o-rings on the refrigerant lines - that wasn't included. After all, the instructions say to turn the pulley at least 10 times to get the oil through the system. When I did this, the caps on the refrigerant line holes exploded and a small amount of oil spilled onto the ceiling of my garage. I guess I should have known, but it was my first time doing this job and I didn't say to delete them. As I said, the job was done at a good price, but there are no instructions for the most important things.
