Use What You GotA lot of guys want to just use the existing compressor on their Jeep when the A/C dies or starts blowing hot. There are a few issues to be aware of with the Sanden compressor. Many of them don't have an oil fill/check plug (arrow), and if they do, in the Jeep applications, the fill/check plug is often on the side. In case of not having a plug, the only way to oil the compressor is through the intake or suction side. And then, there is no way to be sure how much oil you are putting in it. If the plug is on the side, then the accessory belt or belts need to be removed, the compressor unbolted (and possibly the lines unbolted too), turned and mounted so the plug is facing up so it can be checked or filled. Kilby Enterprises offers a dipstick for the Sanden compressor so that if you do have a fill plug, you can accurately check the fluid level. View Related Article
