Summary
"Authorized Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Retailers who participated in the Mahle R-134A Hybrid AC unit and manual oil injector purchase program were shipped the incorrect type of compressor oil. The Crosstrek Hybrid utilizes the same R-134a refrigerant as most all Subaru models built since 1994. While the refrigerant is commonly used, the compressor oil for the Crosstrek Hybrid is a special non-conductive POE electronic compressor oil."
