         1) Operate engine at idle speed for 10 minutes, to return
refrigerant oil to compressor. Stop engine. Discharge refrigerant. See
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS. Clean area around compressor filler plug and
remove plug slowly.
         2) Determine angle at which compressor is mounted. Insert
compressor dipstick diagonally until stop on dipstick contacts filler
plug surface. See Fig. 1. Remove dipstick and note oil fill level.
Each increment on dipstick represents one ounce of oil.
         3) Determine amount of oil needed according to mounting
angle. See COMPRESSOR OIL CAPACITIES (JAGUAR XJS) table for specified
amount.
         4) If necessary, correct compressor oil level. Install
compressor oil plug, and tighten it to 72-108 INCH lbs. (8-12 N.m).
