Review on Enhanced Denso 471-1010 Compressor with Clutch for Optimal Performance by Alex Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect Fit - 2005 Sienna

Excellent value for money considering it's an OE manufacturer. There are several videos on YouTube showing how to replace the compressor so make sure to follow them. Some reviews state that there is too much oil in the compressor, which is both true and false. The compressor is said to be filled with 4.5 ounces of ND-8 (PAG 46) oil according to the factory service manual and comes pre-filled with approximately 7 to 7.5 ounces. However, you must replace the condenser/dryer at the same time you replace the compressor, and this requires about 1.5 ounces of oil. You must remove the bumper and front support brackets to access the dryer. So at this point you should have only spent the extra $50 on a Denso condenser/dryer instead of just replacing the dryer, especially if your recompressor is stuck. In total I drained about 1 ounce of oil. Anyone who has just replaced the compressor and recharged the system can get away with it for a while, but unfortunately has to repair it again.
