- In a previous video I figure out why this 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander is blowing warm air out of the vents. I talked to the customer, they said to fix it. The parts are here now and it's time to get it done. We have a brand new Mitsubishi A/C compressor and receiver drier to install so lets get started.
Haven't seen part 1 yet? Well it is right here: • No A/C Mitsubishi Outl...

I wish i would've payed attention to my grandfather when he was alive. He was a great mechanic!!!
I'm not too sure if you'll see this but I wanted to post this.
I just wanted to take a quick second to thank you for posting all of these videos. I'm currently a 2nd year apprentice up here in good old Canada and I'm glad I found your TH-cam channel. The amount of knowledge and insight I've gained from watching your videos has been amazing. My grandfather worked as a mechanic for over 40 years and while I've learned a lot from him, the industry and cars he worked on during his career were vastly different compared to today's modern vehicles and technology.
I love how detailed all of these videos are from diagnosis all the way to repairing the fault. So thank you again for posting these videos. You've gained a long term fan! I would die to work under some body like you!
Thanks,
Alex
zlALEXlo Hey Alex glad it is a help to you and that you enjoy them. Kinda funny the apprentice that works with me now is a Canadian and it was his dream to work with me lol. Well keep your head on straight pay attention to your work and do your best! Just member a little common sense goes a long way in this business. Good luck in your adventure.
-Eric O.
I don't do many AC systems, but when I do I always stress over how much PAG oil to put in, especially if there was a leak and you really don't know how much came out before you started. I tend to follow the guide for each component in my factory service manual. For that compressor I was thinking the only way to really know how much is in it at any time would be to totally empty it like you did the old compressor. Once it was empty you could replace the amount that came out of the old compressor plus a little more to replace the drips and spills you didn't get to measure. I was relieved to see that even a pro mechanic like yourself stresses over this, so now I don't feel as bad when I stress over it.
Chris
I agree. If there was a leak in the system I add a hair less than the factory spec after draining the new compressor. If there weren't any leaks then I put in what came out of the old compressor.
shadowdog500 Well I just try to do my best . Hate "wondering" if it is right or wrong. I guess my best is all I can do right :)
Hope you didn't think I was criticizing, because I wasn't. It just made me feel better knowing that even the pros like you stress over this as much as I do.
Chris
Oh yeah I know what ya mean . No worries
wow! all those calculations/conversions! You are a rocket surgeon!!! and may I say congratulation on going over 10.000. Hope to do the same when you hit 1,000,000 subscribers!
The Disgruntled Mechanic Didn't know I was boarder line genius did ya haha
South Main Auto Repair Not just anyone can figure out this type of rocket appliantry.
Great video and well explained.A cool customer is a happy customer.
Tom OConnor They sure are :)
You really know your stuff!! You explain things slowly and in a very understanding way!!
Congratulations on the 10k mark! I've enjoyed watching your channel grow so fast. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Always look forward to the next video.
OnTheBrink Thanks a lot
Keep up the great videos Eric. Love watching the repairs, I'm a hvac tech professionally in Alberta!
Whenever I do an AC system repair and if the compressor had suffered the black death I would flush out the system and put back in the total amount of oil for the system, since flushing the entire system will normally remove all the oil in the system.
Excellent video, Eric. As always, you are precise and methodical. I also noticed you have exceeded 10k subscribers-congratulations. I wish you continued success.
***** Thank you, thank you
Great video, job well done I have never done automotive AC work but the way you added the oil to the new compressor made sense to me.
Your dog works as hard as mine does. Nice.
Thorough job Eric! - A joy to watch you work!
1954BJohn Thanks
Nice cold air. Great repair. Get that thing out of there.
***** Flushed that toilet! It's gone haha
Good job on the 10k, Also like to note love watching your videos. Wealth of imfomation and nice to see mechanics doing the correct job at fixing stuff. It's crazy how many of them just throw parts at stuff and hope it fixes it. Also would love to work in a shop like yours or yours itself lol. Keep it up man!
Devon Morder Hey thanks a lot. Well I try my best to test before winging the parts at it.
I find your approach to adding oil interesting. I have never drained and measured what was in the old compressor. I also don't recall ever getting a new compressor without oil being in it. I generally add one ounce of oil to the system when I change a component and two ounces when there is explosive decompression such as a collision or burst hose. I have never had an issue doing it that way.
eldoradony Oh no kidding, see in this case it would have had twice the required amount in the system if I just put it on the way it was.
Eric- you're right to err on the side of too much oil. I've heard the doom and gloom of too much oil but never had a problem. I have seen compressors shred that IMO had too little oil.
Awesome video. I just worked on a 04 toyota rav4. Bad battery damaged the fuel system. Relay box was damaged, old fuel pump fried. The complain was the car stalled out after getting fuel.owner tried jumping the car but nothing .My initial diagnosis was originally the fuelpump. Put a new one in and nothing. Started digging with the electronics, Had power going to the pump harness but it was only at 11.70v, to low. After my bro helped me out with the electrics we managed to get somewhat of a result. The new pump started to cycle after you turned the key off. Epic LOL. All the relay were showing 170 ohms of resistance. Pulled the entire relay box off to look underneath and it was clean. Put the box back on and the car was a bit less hesitant to start but still nothing. Our conclusion, the bad battery damaged damaged either the fuse box or ecu causing a voltage drop. The car needs to go to the dealership were my bro works to determine how bad the damage really is. I was doing this job outside. Conclusion......... DO NOT IGNORE YOUR BATTERY!!
Great videos Eric. You've made me a loyal fan of your work. Keep it up. Wouldn't it been a good idea to replace the fixed orifice tube since you have the system open? Maybe the compressor was a burn-out. It just good insurance to protect the new compressor.
+Steven Nahulak Well that is a good idea. This one uses an expansion valve and adds about an other 1.3 hours to the job. I leave it up to the customers though.
another great video Dr.O !!!! congrats on the 10k + !!!!
zoie godwin Thanks a lot
Loving all your videos. Thanks for taking time to shoot video on some of your repairs. A couple of quick questions...how much did you charge for this service. I'm about to change my suction discharge line and curious to know how much I'm saving doing the repair myself. Also, I thought you charged AC thru low pressure side. You mentioned you charged thru high side. Thanks again for sharing your videos!!
+Jason Justice Compressor change on this pays one hour and I always charge liquid in the high side so I don't swamp the compressor.
Great work as always Eric. Keep up the good work!
stuzman52 Thanks Terry
As usual, you are very meticulous with your work. Good on you.
rahmanwang Thanks
Wish I could do this repair myself but I guess I’m gonna have to put it in the shop great video thank you
Nice Eric video. I am learning from watching you.New Milwaukee M18? Also another cordless tool?. Are we getting modern?I personally like the air tools but own 3 Milwaukee cordless power tools. Enjoy the warm weather. You will be in the single digits before you know it. Take care, Ken
kenskip1 Oh man don't even remind me haha, hey I am liking this modern tech thing so far I tell ya
hi Eric, big thumbs up and an excellent finish and congratulation on passing 10.000 subscribers cheeeers brother.
j georges Thanks J
That torque seems right to me 😀 you should make clicking noise with your mouth to be sure.. Nice video as always, congrats for the 10k subing(soon you'll get free tools!! Like Christmas)😂
I have always removed the PAG that in new or rebuilt compressors. As I have no clue if or how long it was exposed to outside air.
My factory guru AC guy says, what come out. Should be put back in. And to never over fill any AC with PAG oil. It will flood the compressor and can lock it up or blow seals.
Claude Rains I had seen one on a Peterbuilt literally exploded because they kept putting oil in it every time they "serviced" it... finally it was a few oz. to many and BANG. What a mess.
Another "cool" customer ;) I like the tow hooks on that mitsu, makes it easy for the wrecker driver LOL
farmboy30117 Haha especially when winter hits. You should see the drive way these people have too. More like makes it easier for the crane operator lol.
Dude, You make some awesome videos. And you are a great technician as well. Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video, you should be an instructor. Professor Eric. Awesome job.
Fuddpucker2009 Haha prolly not, I hated school.
Thankfully the part isn't that expensive as I'd thought it would be in today's market. The actual service to do it however is not cheap.
Great work as always Eric O pretty simple job for the compressor very easy access unlike most vehicles we're there buried @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
General Aviation aircraft use freon air conditioning systems, as in cars, but chasing down leaks is much more involved because the hose routing is longer and under the flooring.
jake ounce Haha yeah I bet they have ohhhh a few feet of hose
nice job , watched it all because i have a 2008 just like that one . got 130k on mine never been back to a shop since purchase. One tuff little buggy. Would buy another. great video
Great video, lets see more drum brake work.
Cograts on 10k subs ... i remember saying the 2k about a 3 months ago... good job and excellent content i find your tips to be very helpful and amazing
K Thanks, sure does seem to be growing fast huh
hopefully by the end of the year i will say that for 100k subs you never know.... i have seen an automotive/entertainment channel get a 100k subs in a Month from 1k they are growing by almost 4k subs a day...
Holllllly smokes! Who was that?
Haggard Garage
Hey eric this one got past me never seen it glad i found it. Have to check all of your videos to see if i lost any others. good fix by the way.
Awesome video and congrats on 10k viewers!
bimmerman3 Thanks a lot
Great vid Eric did you get some new Milwaukee M18 power tools don't remember seeing those before. How do you like them?
bfritz5792 Sure did and I love them :) Super powerful!
you're a hard worker, well done...
In my DIY experience, I have had little success w/ measuring drainage (practically zero drainage) from compressor. When a leak is present allowing, much of the lubricant is likely pulled out w/ the leak. In that case, I add system total spec amount before closing. I have had no adverse effects from slighlty too much lubricant.
Great video!
Texas Pipeliner Oh ok , good to know. I suppose if ya didn't know you could always just do a system flush and start over...
Awesome job and video as usual, thank you!! Just wondering why you didn't clean the bugs and debris from the coils while you had the front apart? Not criticizing, just assuming you didn't feel it was necessary.
Jason Michaels Dunno really, symptoms don't really indicate an overheating condenser.
If the Dr says its OK, then its OK!,,thanks for all you do.
Wooo good job on 10k subs Eric!!!
***** Thanks :)
Hi Eric Good video.and really I do think Sheba does have the best Job and gets scratched as well (LOL).
One question regarding the oil, I understood the compressor stated 70cc as capacity shipped with 80cc. why would you not just remove 10cc as the shipping overage and leave it full? A 2nd question I know the oil is carried throughout the system during operation but my understanding is that most of the oil stays in the compressor resivoir and will settle out when system not running. If there was only 10cc left in the system would that not indicate that system failure could have been caused by too little oil remaining?
I am a new subscriber so am enjoying catching up on your videos keep up the good work.
Tintown.
Very professional job, on the repair and the video production! Did someone get a new Milwaukee ratchet?
David Goldberg Sure did :)
new compressor is definitely the way to go in my opinion...
Awesome job Eric. I measure and re add the oil that was drained out. Ever remove a compressor that was empty? What do ya do then? LoL I would have added a little for the drier but it should be ok.
wysetech2000 Usually if they are empty I would flush out the system and add total capacity ... or guess haha
Great video Where did you get your info on the oil quantity is it a free site or do you pay a subscription? I'm trying to find some useful web sites that are free. Do you recharge the system with the old freon or you just use new? I'm thinking of getting a AC machine but the cost of it is crazy when I already have all the tools to e vac the system. I also put back the same amount of oil that i take out and sometimes a little more and never had any problems
JOHN HUFNAGEL It is a pay site. www.prodemand.com
Great video. I have been told what ever comes out is what goes back in. Like that BCM sticker. ;)
***** Yeah this guy I know sent me a few of those ;)
exelente trabajo grasias por ensenaenos espero que lo sigas asiendo por muchos anos
Do you always replace the rec./drier when changing out the compressor ?????
INDIANA BOB More often than not. Usually buy compressors as a package deal that come with them.
South Main Auto Repair thanks for the reply.
thank you for all your videos I love your ch .
johntaheri YW
Yepp I do the same,drain old compressor,drain new compressor, and fill new compressor with same amount drained from old compressor.
Alexis Villafana Ok got ya, well we are on the same page then.
HI Bro, i have a problem with outlander 2010 compressor , it with the bearing, my mechanic advised that i need to replace the full compressor as the bearing is a part of the shaft, how ever i believe that i can replace the pulley with the bearing. please advise if the bearing is connected to Compressor shaft or not.
yup my 08 Outlander had the same problem had to replace it with an aftermarket compressor at a third of the cost what the dealer would've charged. Btw, we did look at the inside of the compressor and it was shot up too.
GREAT JOB I AM GETTING MY DONE ON MY 1999 CADILLAC DEVILLE
100% agree with you man, whatever I take out of the compressor, I put back in. Unless, it is a complete system r&r (comp., condenser, evap...) then I hunt around for component amounts and total system amounts. In either case man, you knocked it out of the park again. I cant thank you enough for posting these videos! And did I spot some new toolage...??? Milwaukee FUEL? Are those the brush-less series? Have a great weekend!
TheTexasCoder Yes Texas Coder not only is that the FUEL impact (all Milwaukee FUEL products are brushless) but did you notice the fancy protective booth I included? I have no idea as to why I treat this guy so well.
SATAMAN Schmidt LOL, that is awesome! Cudos man, for hooking Eric up! Let's keep him happy, and get some more videos out of him :)
TheTexasCoder Yeah yeah yeah , Denny does me good on tools, but I am telling ya he is gonna make me go broke because he knows I am a junkie and buy what ever he shows me haha
SATAMAN Schmidt could you give me your ebay name sataman thk you
schmidtdn
Hey Eric, just want some clarification on this: Were you able to diagnose that the Mitsu needed a receiver dryer or just best-bang for the buck it's a wise idea to go ahead and do it since the a/c system is already opened up? I ask because I'm (still) about to do the a/c on my Civic and a receiver drier is a fairly cheap.
It's good practice to replace the receiver dryer any time the system is opened
John Kirkland Yeah like Erik mentioned it is a good idea plus it is super cheap too .
Thanks to the both of you! I'll make sure to add a receiver-dryer to the list.
Does shop book time take into account all the plastic that needs to be removed to even get to the components? Or is it strictly remove and install of the components?
Shaughn Duffy Book time was more than generous on this job :)
Eric:
Great video. I was curious what was the make and model of the leak detector that you have? I need to get one. Would you recommend that one or something different? Thanks! -JHG
Joe Gartner Not sure of the model because I have had it for a while. It is made by MAC. Seems to work OK I guess.
i never had come back because had to much much oil ,but will show back sized up
Do you have to account for any oil in the Receiver/Dryer? I'd think that the desiccant in there would absorb a fair amount...
hoppes9 Yes you do but I got so busy in this video I did forget to mention that ... good catch!
Your good, where is your garage located at? I'm having problems with my 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport the air conditioner not working now for 2 summers. Me and the kids aren't to happy to get in a Hot car.😢😢😢
great vid eric where did you get the oil measuring vessal ps im going broke watching your vids thanks mike lol
Michael Szweda Oh that is just a graduated cylinder . You can get like a 3 piece set on Amazon for like 6 bucks
Hope this Lady get coooool , greeting from Saudi Arabia
Thamir Alqurashi Oh she is coool now :)
How much time from start to finish, the cost? Am asking because I also have a problem with the a/c not blowing cold air. Thanks.
thinking about buying an ac service machine like yours, are there any special precautions when dealing with a system that may have stop leak in it ?
101numlock You can buy what they call an AC Guard that goes right on your hoses on the ac machine to protect it.
Nice job!
I see you purchased the Milwaukee cordless ratchet. How are you liking it.
Emt Scythe So far so good, time will tell
I think they meant there's 80cc of oil in the compressor. Subtract what you drain out of the old compressor 70cc. So 80-70 =10cc. Drain 10cc out of new compressor so now got same amount as the old one.
Good job as usual. Thanks.
That subie is just chillin in the backround. Is it going well?
argonian bilbo Oh yeah it's all good, just was waiting on heads forever!
Hi Eric, new sub here awesome vids. where do you get your wiring diagrams and specific vehicle specs? thanks
thanks for the videos
seems like ac compressor issues are common with mitsubishis. had a 2004 lancer that had the similar issue once it hit around 90k got the part and swapped it. i have a 2011 versa with 110k and want to buy a 2008 outlander with 100k miles on it but idk man i hear they get great mpg, drive ok in the snow. im a student and go to school in NH, i drive 20-25k a year. what do u think should i get the outlander or stick w the versa
thanks
I am thinking of doing this job for a friend of mine but I don't have a way to evacuate the system. What would recommend? Trying to help him as best I can
Love Mitsubishi ❤❤
Do you have to rev engine and hold at 2000 RPM to check final temperature? THANKS FRIEND.
AC compressor lives 6 years? That is kind of disappointing for a Japanese car.
Gracias por la información
Eric are you still going to post video of the blue Subaru Forester head gasket repair?
***** Yeah it just needs to be finished editing then displayed.
Awesome. Lookin forward to it. Thank god for those crappy Subaru EJ25s; they're how technicians make their boat payments!
***** Hey I am not gonna disagree with that! I hope they keep it up. The new ones are failing just as fast too! YESSS!! (first pump)
Great Video!
brother,where does drainage hose on your outlander ends,I have a problem locating it and my ac is ful of water?
What website do you use to look up the specs for Mitsubishi outlander 2013?
The notifications problems is probably system wide. I'm not getting mine either.
GRowe1978 Seems to be back up and running.
South Main Auto Repair Could be, I got this one, so that's a good sign! lol
What kind of adapter has the impact driver, because as I know it comes with 1/4" hex, and here seems that is not.
I have the same model of Mitsubishi Outlander 2009, the problem is that the air coming out in the center vent is warm but the reat vent is cold. What could be the possible cause of the problem.
what is the difference between a receiver drier and an acumulater?
Why didn't you just replace the magnetic clutch for the ac its relatively easy and more cost effective
Why did you replace the receiver dryer?
Hey I have a 2019 Mitsubishi outlander sport my ac is blowing hot air what should I do
I liked your page on facebook, and i find it funny that im im the chicagoland area hut have the same area code for my phone number as your shop.
***** Oh cool.
I will bet that very few techs will double check for leaks with a sniffer after it held vacuum for >15 minutes.
working for your money
sir may I ask you what do you do when the oil leaked out which is my case for 97 Cadillac Deville what should I do ?
johntaheri If I had a big leak I would flush the system and refill.
can you please upload a video how to change spark plug in mitsubishi outlander xls instyle 2007? if you have any info can you please send it to me? thanks
good jop my friend cant for or next log
Dealer compressor??
jim dandy No aftermarket that sells OE for less to shops
Man... You don't see oil filters with the screw part facing up. It is always at an angle or sideways.
***** Yep that way you can make a bigger mess :)
Why on earth wouldn't they just ship the part with the EXACT amount of oil the device requires?
