Should I add oil to compressor with just a new condenser?

pippo on Wed May 13, 2009 7:09 AM User is offline

Hi Guys,

Almost done with project....instaling new Hi flow condenser (universal type), and I remember seeing just a tiny drizzle (a teaspoon or so) of oil draining from the hoses. There has been no leakage during the past use (2 yrs) from when I installed the old system. Originally, the system called for 6 oz oil. Should I add maybe just a half an oz for good luck?

Thanks.

Add back about an ounce of the proper oil..There is no way of knowing how much oil was left in the old condenser, so even an ounce is a gamble.. But I would add at least an ounce.. Hope this helps..
