A-Premium AC Compressor VS16E with Clutch for 2011–2014 Sonata & Optima — PAG46 Prefilled, 6-Groove Pulley

The A-Premium Air Conditioner AC Compressor with Clutch is a complete, vehicle-ready VS16E compressor prefilled with PAG46 oil and an installed clutch, engineered to replace factory units on compatible 2011–2014 Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima gasoline engines.

This replacement compressor is built to be a direct-fit service part for a range of mid‑2010s Hyundai and Kia sedans. It arrives prefilled with 150ml (±20ml) of PAG46 lubricant, includes the clutch assembly, and uses a 6-groove pulley to match OE accessory drives. Before ordering, compare part images and reference numbers with your existing compressor to confirm compatibility.

How does this compressor match original equipment performance?

The unit follows OE form, fit, and function for the listed applications by using the VS16E compressor design and a six-groove pulley that aligns with factory drive belts. It ships prefilled with the specified PAG46 oil quantity to help reduce installation prep, and the included clutch means fewer aftermarket parts to source separately.

• Compressor type: VS16E for OE-like displacement and mounting points
• Pulley: 6-groove to match factory belt systems
• Oil: PAG46 prefilled — 150ml ±20ml tolerance
• Clutch: included and preinstalled for plug-and-play replacement

Will this fit my car and how can I verify compatibility?

This A-Premium compressor is designed for gasoline versions of Hyundai Sonata (2011 L4 2.0L and 2011–2014 L4 2.4L) and Kia Optima (2011 L4 2.0L/2.4L). Use your vehicle’s year, engine type, and the OEM/reference numbers listed to cross‑check fitment. Matching photos and reference numbers is the most reliable method before purchase.

• Compatible models: Hyundai Sonata 2011 (2.0L), 2011–2014 (2.4L)
• Kia Optima: 2011 (2.0L/2.4L) — GAS engines only
• Reference numbers: multiple OE cross‑references supplied for verification
• Tip: compare physical mounting points and electrical connector shapes

What should a mechanic know before installing this compressor?

Technicians should evacuate and recharge the system properly, inspect the expansion device and condenser, and confirm the system is free of contamination before installing a new compressor. Because the unit is precharged with PAG46 oil, confirm total oil volume in the system after installation and consider replacing the receiver/drier or accumulator if recommended by service procedures.

• System service: evacuate, leak-test, and recharge per manufacturer specs
• Oil handling: confirm combined oil quantity after installation
• Related parts: check and replace drier/accumulator and expansion valve as needed
• Electrical: verify clutch connector and wiring integrity before power-up

Keep purchase receipts and part references handy for any warranty inquiries.
