R134a mixed with pag and poe

[nolannorwood]

Hi all, new to this forum. Just have a quick question. I had R134a stored in my recovery tank that’s previously been in systems using pag46 oils. I was recovering ac out of my 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid which uses nd-11 Poe oil, which I realized after recovering all the refrigerant into my tank containing pag 134a and deciding to read the sticker on the hood. Do yall think it’s ok to still reuse that refrigerant or should I fill it with new stuff? Is my refrigerant in the tank basically trash and I should recycle it now?

Depends on the type of R&R machine you are using. However, most upper-end machines have an oil separator, so the refrigerant is clean to use after reclaiming.
