Autodevil AC Compressor for 2012-2016 Cadillac SRX & 2012 Buick LaCrosse 3.6L — Aluminum Alloy, Clutch Included

Autodevil AC Compressor 98586 is a direct-fit, aluminum-alloy replacement compressor with included clutch, designed to restore strong, quiet air conditioning performance for compatible 3.6L V6 GM vehicles.

This compressor is engineered to match original equipment dimensions and mounting points, offering an efficient electric-control, belt-driven unit pre-filled with oil and supplied with a clutch. It’s built for late-model SRX and LaCrosse 3.6L engines and lists multiple OE cross-reference numbers so you can confirm fitment for your vehicle. The construction and pulley design aim to deliver consistent refrigerant flow, lowered electrical draw, and minimal cabin noise.

Will this Autodevil compressor fit my SRX or LaCrosse?

Compatibility is specific to model years and engines. This unit fits 2012–2016 Cadillac SRX 3.6L and 2012 Buick LaCrosse 3.6L variants with the V6 listed; always compare OE numbers and vehicle specifics before ordering.

• Compatible models: 2012–2016 SRX 3.6L (various fuel types)
• Also fits: 2012 LaCrosse 3.6L V6
• Cross-reference OE numbers included for verification
• Confirm engine size and pulleys before purchase

What are the key technical details I should know?

The compressor is cast from aluminum alloy for light weight and corrosion resistance, uses an electric control type mechanism, and drives via a 6-rib (6PV) pulley. It arrives pre-filled with oil and includes the clutch so you receive a near-complete module ready for installation.

• Material: aluminum alloy body for durability
• Pulleys: 6PV (six-rib) configuration
• Type: electric control, belt-driven compressor
• Package: clutch included; pre-filled with oil

How does replacing the compressor improve my AC system?

Installing a properly matched compressor restores the system’s ability to compress and circulate refrigerant, which helps recover cooling capacity and system efficiency. A correct-fit unit reduces strain on belts and electrical components and can lower cabin noise compared with a worn or failing compressor.

• Restores refrigerant compression and flow for cooler air
• Improves energy efficiency and reduces electrical load
• Lowers operational noise compared to failing units
• Pre-fit dimensions reduce installation adjustments

What should I check before installing this replacement?

Confirm the OE part numbers and vehicle year/engine match, inspect and flush the AC system if the old compressor failed, and replace the receiver-drier or accumulator and the expansion valve as needed. Proper refrigerant charge and leak testing after installation are essential for long-term performance.

• Match OE part numbers (listed with the product)
• Inspect and flush refrigeration lines if contaminated
• Replace dryer/accumulator and service seals/gaskets
• Vacuum, charge to spec, and leak-test after install

Who is this for: This Autodevil compressor is intended for professional installers, experienced DIYers, and fleet technicians who need a guaranteed-fit replacement for specific 3.6L V6 GM vehicles. It’s suitable when the original compressor has failed, is noisy, or no longer maintains pressure; buyers should have the ability to verify vehicle fitment by VIN or OE number and perform or arrange proper system evacuation, flushing, and refrigerant charging.
