question lang sa mga aircon gurus.
regarding the compressor oil, every when should i top up or replace it?
thanks
^ Compressor oil is usually replaced when there is major work within the system, i.e evaporator replacement or compressor re-sealing. The AC technician can also evacuate the system of refrigerant and oil. In a refrigerant recycling machine, the technican can determine how much refrigerant and oil was recovered from your vehicle.
He will then recharge the system with new oil (up to specification) and refrigerant. I don't know as to how much as different car brands may dictate different volumes. When I had my compressors replaced, the systems were evacuated and flushed before new oil and refrigerant was charged.
