Automotive A/C Lubricants
Automotive A/C compressor lubricants must be matched to the refrigerant, compressor design and system requirements of the vehicle — the wrong lubricant type or viscosity grade compromises both compressor reliability and system performance. NEXT Lubricants supplies PAG, POE and speciality A/C compressor lubricants and additives for passenger car, light commercial and heavy transport A/C service across R134a, R1234yf, R744 and electric vehicle applications.
Knowledge
Lubrication Considerations for Automotive A/C Systems
Refrigerant Compatibility
Lubricant type is determined by the refrigerant — PAG lubricants are standard for R134a and R1234yf systems, with specific viscosity grades and formulations matched to the compressor manufacturer's specification. R744 (CO₂) and electric compressor systems have distinct lubricant requirements.
Electric Compressor Lubrication
Electrically driven A/C compressors in hybrid and battery electric vehicles require lubricants with low electrical conductivity in addition to standard refrigerant compatibility and lubrication performance — standard PAG lubricants are not suitable for electric compressor applications.
System Condition & Additives
A/C system additives support leak detection, UV tracing, seal conditioning and system protection across service and maintenance operations — with product selection matched to the refrigerant type and service requirement of the specific application.
