Behr Hella Service reinforces oil quality with promotional giveaway
As good practice, Behr Hella Service advises that oil in the air-conditioning system should be refreshed at a service or replaced when the compressor is changed.

Behr Hella Service, is giving away a free bottle of PAO 68 UV Plus oil with every compressor ordered for passenger car and commercial vehicles from April 2017.

Every compressor is pre-filled with oil to stop dirt, debris and moisture from entering the system.

However, this oil needs refreshing over time to maintain its efficiency, which requires it to be drained and refilled with a specific formulation of oil.

Technicians should therefore check vehicle manufacturer oil specifications, as the use of low quality oil, the incorrect amount or even the wrong oil could lead to increased wear, premature compressor failure and invalidation of the warranty.

Oil range

Behr Hella Service offers a comprehensive range of oils, including PAG 46, 100 and 150, as well as PAO oil 68 and PAO oil 68 plus UV.

The PAG oil is used by many vehicle and compressor manufacturers intended for the R134a refrigerant, however, Behr Hella Service provides specialised PAG oils, 46 YF and 100 YF, which are suitable for both R134a and R1234yf refrigerants.

PAG oils easily mix with R134a and are suitable for lubricating the air conditioning system of most passenger car and commercial vehicle applications.

As PAG oils are hygroscopic – absorb moisture –open oil containers must be resealed immediately and any residual oil will have a limited shelf life.

PAO oil 68 and 68 plus UV are high quality oils, which are not hygroscopic and contribute to increasing the performance of the air conditioning system.

Moreover, using these Behr Hella Service oils maintains the full warranty entitlement for compressors.

While PAO 68 remains mainly in the compressor, where the oil is needed, a small amount of oil also circulates throughout the system because it lightly combines with the refrigerant.

The resulting oil film inside the components makes a better seal, reduces friction between the moving parts of the compressor, increases operational reliability and reduces noise, cycle times and energy consumption.

In addition, PAO 68 plus UV incorporates a highly effective contrast agent for UV leak detection, which preserves the oil’s positive properties and avoids negative effects on the system components or servicing equipment.

It is also suitable as the sole oil for the entire system, as it can be used in all PAG applications, irrespective of the formulation.

To assist with the varying filling quantities for the PAG and PAO oils, Behr Hella Service’s free compressor app, which is available to both iOS and Android users, provides garages with accurate quantities of refrigerants and oils, making it easier and safer for the technician to service a compressor.
