Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number 815023, the DKS15D series, and the direct mount / vertical pad configuration against the compressor already fitted to the vehicle. The clutch diameter is 125mm and the pulley section is A with one groove, so these details should also be checked where the existing unit is accessible.

Oil specification matters with this compressor. It is listed with PAG 46 oil and a 150ml oil capacity, and the item notes say it comes with PAG compressor oil. If the system has been open, contaminated, or has had a compressor failure, the correct oil type and quantity should be confirmed during installation.

This compressor is restricted to VALEO ZEXEL and suits unit make Zexel, so it is not something to select by vehicle alone. The published applications cover Mitsubishi Challenger PB/PC 2.5L from 12/2009 to 12/2015 and Mitsubishi Triton ML/MN 2.5L from 07/2008 to 02/2015, but the safest purchase check is still the part number and mounting details on the original unit.

At 7kg, this is a substantial mechanical component and it should be handled and installed by someone familiar with automotive air conditioning systems. If the existing compressor failed, it is worth checking associated components and system cleanliness during the repair rather than fitting the compressor in isolation.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 815023 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
