OIL SPECIFICATION
-
The HFC-134a system requires a synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils must
never be mixed.
-
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of compressor.
HANDLING OF OIL
-
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
-
Do not mix with other oil.
-
The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil absorbs
moisture very easily.)
