It arrives prefilled with approximately 180 ml of PAG46 lubricant (±20 ml tolerance) and includes the clutch assembly, so it’s ready for installation when the vehicle uses a 5-groove pulley configuration.

If you own a Mazda 3 (2010–2013) with the HCC-HS18N compressor configuration and a 5-groove pulley, this A-Premium AC Compressor with clutch is a practical, OE-like replacement option. It suits DIY mechanics who can verify part differences before buying, and professional shops that need a ready-to-install compressor prefilled with PAG46 oil and supplied with the clutch. A-Premium backs the unit with a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee for added confidence, but make sure to confirm fitment and installation requirements to avoid incompatibility with RS15\/6-groove systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this compressor fit a Mazda 3 with a 6-groove pulley?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This A-Premium unit fits HS18 compressors with a 5-groove pulley only, not RS15\/6-groove models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the compressor prefilled with oil and does it include the clutch?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
