| 1. | 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. |
| 1. | 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. |
