If this is the cause you need to also find and fix the reason why the compressor failed in the first place, otherwise it will happen again.

Some compressors come prefilled with oil.Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91294-99-excel-ac-issue/#findComment-1568025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
