Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto

The A-Premium Air Conditioner AC Compressor with Clutch is a direct-fit replacement compressor prefilled with PAG46 oil and designed to restore factory-style cooling performance for compatible Nissan Altima 2.5L L4 models.

This heavy-duty aftermarket compressor combines a matched clutch assembly, six-groove pulley, and 150 ml factory-equivalent oil charge to simplify installation and get your vehicle's air conditioning back to working order. Built to meet OEM mounting and hose locations for the specified Altima fitments, the unit is intended for drivers and technicians seeking a reliable, ready-to-install replacement without modifying factory components.

Will this compressor fit my Nissan Altima?

If your vehicle is a Nissan Altima with the 2.5L L4 engine from the listed model years and submodels, this A-Premium compressor is engineered to match factory attachment points and pulley alignment. Always verify part compatibility before purchase to avoid returns.

  • Compatible models: Altima 2013–2015 (Base), 2013–2018 (S), 2016–2018 (SR)
  • Engine: Only fits L4 2.5L engines (do not use on V6 or different displacements)
  • Cross-reference OE numbers: 92600-3TA2A/B/C/D/E, 92600-3TA3A/B, 78664, 77664
  • Note: Some 2016 Altimas use the VCS-14EC compressor — confirm your existing compressor style

What are the technical details and included components?

The assembly ships with a matched clutch and a 6-groove pulley to align with the factory drive belt and provide correct engagement characteristics. The compressor arrives prefilled with PAG46 oil (approximately 150 ml, +/- 20 ml) to help streamline installation and reduce the risk of incorrect oil servicing.

  • Compressor Type: VCS141C or VCS-14EC (check your original unit)
  • Oil Type & Charge: PAG46, prefilled 150 ml (20 ml tolerance)
  • Pulley: 6 grooves to match OEM belt profile
  • Clutch: Included and matched to the compressor body for plug-and-play replacement

How should I confirm fitment before installation?

Before installation, compare the replacement unit to your removed compressor and verify electrical connector, hose ports, mounting bolt pattern, and pulley orientation. Using the vehicle fitment tool where available and matching photos of your existing compressor will reduce mistakes and ensure compatibility.

  • Compare photos of your OEM compressor to the listing images
  • Verify electrical connector and refrigerant port locations
  • Check OE part numbers listed against your current stamp or paperwork
  • Use your vehicle’s VIN or Amazon garage tools to double-check fitment

What warranty and support come with the compressor?

A-Premium backs this air conditioning compressor with a one-year, unlimited-mileage guarantee to protect against manufacturing defects. The warranty aims to provide peace of mind for DIY installers and professional mechanics alike when choosing an aftermarket replacement.

  • One-year unlimited-mileage warranty from A-Premium
  • Support available for fitment questions and product details
  • Packaged to reduce transit damage and includes standard mounting interface

Who is this for: The A-Premium AC Compressor with Clutch suits vehicle owners, independent mechanics, and repair shops replacing a failed compressor on a Nissan Altima L4 2.5L (specified years and submodels).
