4-2-2 Changing and adding refrigerant oil
1. Change the compressor - DO NOT recharge the oil as the compressor itself is
already charged.
2. Change the condenser .... add 50cc
3. Change the evaporator .... add 50cc
4. When the refrigerant is replaced .... add 30cc oil.
5. After vacuum is completed, the oil is filled through the high pressure side.
6. In the event of a refrigerant leak, generally it is not necessary to add oil
(unless the oil has leaked significantly).
