i would probably ask them to charge it to spec and bill me accordingly. bahala na what happens later.
kasi naman, kung sira na siya even before, adding or subtracting freon wouldn't amount to much anymore.

I'll probably call them tomorrow to check. As for compressor oil, ok lang bang hindi sila nagdagdag? Kasi nagleak din yung compressoir oil for sure dahil dun sa o-ring na yun.

Alam ko dati kapag na release lahat ng freon tapos may vaccuming, unang pina higop iyong oil. Tapos saka kakargahan ng freon.

Meaning dapat automatic naglagay narin ng oil?

Sabi kasi sakin kanina iba pa ang flushing sa recalibration. Ang ginawa nila is recalibration.

Ay wala palang flushing ginawa, tapos O ring lang napalitan hindi major component gaya ng condenser or evaporator.

As per Google search, karamihan ng oil nasa system pa din naiwan, tapos may kaunting oil na din daw ang freon. Kaya no need to add daw. Hehe.

Yeah, nagsearch din ako pero some say na basta kapag nagpalit ka ng freon dapat magdagdag ka ng konti. Although it's hard to tell how much more to add lalo na kapag hindi flinush yung system. Adding too much oil is also detrimental to the system kasi.

Normal ba na may konting condensation dun sa refrigerant lines na metal na may sa may compressor?

If the oil was leaking because of o-ring defect, then oil should've been topped up ... it's standard practice ... have it checked by proper aircon specialist ... not go to guessing game ... it could get worse and cost to repair could go higher ...

I mean CarTech services is in the league of Rapide. In fact, Rapide bought it so I thought their service is decent. How do they know how much oil to add?
