Good To Know

Q: Does this compressor come with oil already installed? A: Replacement compressors typically ship with a small amount of assembly oil, so add the correct PAG oil quantity and refrigerant charge specified for your Corolla during installation.

Q: Should I replace other A/C parts at the same time? A: It is common practice to replace the receiver drier and expansion valve and to flush the system whenever a compressor fails, so metal debris does not contaminate the new unit.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
