Do I need to add compresser oil with this refrigerant after i replace the condenser. if yes, how much oil do i need.

You need to pour out the oil remaining in the condenser into a cup or container and measure the weight. Whatever weight of the oil that was in the condenser you replace with fresh oil to keep the system balanced. For this I generally use a pinewood derby scale in ounces

Once it sets up right for the 1st time as long as it is upright your good to go, it is the oil that the compressor has in it that well move in to the coils that cool and discharge heat from it, if you turn it on it's side like anything else , it well need time for the oil to drain back down.

Yes, this unit will replace your existing condenser, but it does not come with refrigerant.

I think the compressor is a little small. The psi is more than enough. I think you would have to wait for the compressor to refill before move on to another part of the job.

I found oil in a squeeze bottle with a long flexible spout at Ace Hardware that worked great. No mess. Make sure you get the right grade oil for the fan. Info on oil grade is in the instruction papers that came with the fan or on line.

good day, yes this ac compressor comes with shipping oil. here at comfort auto we test every single unit to make sure everything is working correctly. we add the correct amount of oil in the compressor but since this ac compressor fits multiple vehicles its always recommend to pour the oil out and pour what your vehicle calls for in the service manual.if there is anything we can help you please feel free to ask us.best regardscomfort auto team

Mine needed oil to be added. I would think that yours was test run and they forgot to remove the oil before shipping it.

For the first time/ new to the trade person this is a good question. " they assume we all know a air compressor is needed. that being said I would visit you tube and do your homework. all your questions should be answered there. its what helped me a great deal. pay special attention to the cutting heads and consumables. the more you know the longer they last. also study what kind of regulator you may want. this one works for a short time but you get what you pay for. good luck have fun.

The amount of refrigerant that is needed has numerous variables, which I would be happy to discuss with you. However, if you have a nearly full 30lb jug than you have far more than would be needed in any scenario. Please call direct for your best price.

Do not forget to add PAG refrigerant oil. And replace orofice expansion tube. And you should be good to go.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

Yes it does come with refrigerant and no it does not require professional installation. I do not recommend doing yourself, however, as the company's technical support is abyssmal.

It is just a recovery unit. You will need to also have a recovery tank to store the recovered refrigerant.

Don't know, but we have had ours about one year and it no longer condenses any moisture. Compressor runs but bucket is dry during 70+ percent humidity conditions. Must have leaked out its freon?, this is our second unit that has failed in the same manner - great stuff Ah!

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

Bob ~ I got the 'start-up' kit w/ my compressor at AMAZON. This kit contains two quarts of synthetic oil & 2 air filters. The warranty ismuch shorter if you use petroleum based oil althought it'll work. I strongly suggest you use the 'start-up' kit. James V.
