The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas
the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never
be mixed.
|
2. |
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be
sure to use oil specified for the model of compressor.

The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
|
2. |
Do not mix with other oil.

3. |
The water content in the oil increases when exposed to air. After
use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil absorbs
moisture very easily.)

4. |
The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in
plastic containers.
