2004 Lincoln Town Car A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service the A/C Condenser Core on 2004 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: You must start servicing the HVAC condenser core with F73Z-19577-AA refrigerant compressor oil (Motorcraft YN-9-A) only for R-134a refrigerant system O-ring seals yet omit this oil from the A/C compressor lubrication process. The service calls for PAG refrigerant compressor oil F7AZ-19D589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) as the lubricant for A/C compressors while meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B. You must test for leaks in the A/C condenser core before proceeding with its removal. Recover refrigerant before removing the battery together with the pin-type retainers while taking off the radiator upper sight shield. Take off the condenser fittings while discarding their O-ring seals. Twist off the bracket bolts before pulling out the radiator and then remove the condenser bracket nuts. A proper extraction of the A/C condenser core requires moving the radiator backward. The procedure for installation involves following the opposite order of removal steps while using new O-ring seals that received PAG oil lubrication and performing proper lubrication of the system with clean oil as required. Alienate the refrigerant system by evacuating it followed by leak testing before charging it with new refrigerant.
