SCITOO AC Compressor for Ford Explorer 3.5L 2013-2019 — Direct-Fit Replacement with Clutch, 6-Groove Pulley

SCITOO's AC compressor is a direct-fit replacement with clutch for select Ford and Lincoln V6/V8 models, engineered to restore reliable cooling performance.

This aftermarket air conditioning compressor is built to match the original equipment specifications for multiple Ford and Lincoln vehicles from 2013–2020. Constructed from aluminum alloy and shipped pre-filled with PAG46 oil, it arrives ready for installation (refrigerant recharge required). The unit uses R134a refrigerant, features a 6-groove pulley, a 4.33-inch pulley diameter, and an internal oil volume of 130 ml. It fits many Explorer, Police Interceptor, Fusion, Taurus, Continental, MKS, MKT and MKZ models; check OE part numbers and pulley details to confirm compatibility.

Which vehicles will this SCITOO compressor fit?

This compressor is compatible with a range of Ford and Lincoln models commonly equipped with a 3.5L or 3.7L engine and the original 7SBH17C compressor type. Fitment covers multiple model years across Explorer, Flex, Fusion, Taurus, Police Interceptor variants, and certain Lincoln sedans and crossovers. Always verify your OE part number and pulley groove count before ordering.

What are the technical specs and what comes pre-installed?

The compressor uses a 7SBH17C design with a six-groove pulley and measures approximately 4.33 inches in pulley diameter. It is manufactured from aluminum alloy for corrosion resistance and weight savings. The unit ships with PAG46 oil already inside, and the electromagnetic clutch is included; you will still need to evacuate and recharge the A/C system with R134a to the recommended 70–80% level.

• Compressor type: 7SBH17C, clutch included
• Pulley: 6 grooves, 4.33 in diameter
• Material: aluminum alloy; internal oil: 130 ml PAG46
• Refrigerant: R134a — recharge required (fill to 70–80%)

How should I prepare and install to avoid common failures?

Proper preparation prevents premature failure. Before installing the new compressor, thoroughly flush and clean the vehicle's A/C lines and condenser to remove debris and metal particles. Follow correct installation torque and electrical connections, replace the receiver/drier or accumulator if recommended, and perform a vacuum and leak test before charging.

• Inspect and compare OE part numbers, image, and pulley groove count first
• Flush the A/C system and clean pipes to remove debris
• Replace drier/accumulator and expansion valve if contaminated
• Vacuum test, then recharge R134a to specified level (70–80%)

What warranty, parts interchange, or fit-check steps should I use?

Confirm interchangeability by matching the listed OE part numbers and the pulley/connector details to your vehicle's original unit. If in doubt, compare the product images to your removed compressor before installing. Retain photos and purchase records for warranty or return inquiries.

• Match OE numbers: DA8319D629AC/AD/AE/AF/BA/BB
• Compare pulley groove count, electrical connector, and mounting points
• Keep invoices and photos for warranty claims or technical support
