AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM REFRIGER-
ANT AND LUBRICANT
The air conditioner system of your vehicle must be
charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a) and
the lubricant NISSAN A/C System Oil Type R or the
exact equivalents. Use of any other refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage, and you may
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air conditioner
system.
The release of refrigerants into the atmosphere is
prohibited in many countries and regions. The refrig-
erant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your vehicle will not harm
the Earth’s ozone layer. However, it may contribute in a
small part to the global warming effect. NISSAN
recommends that the refrigerant be appropriately
recovered and recycled. Contact a NISSAN dealer
when servicing the air conditioner system.
