Will be adding some oil to my A/C system.
FSM says ND-Oil 8, which I have read in a few places is equivalent to PAG46, the low viscosity stuff.
So I'm planning to use PAG46 from the local O'Reillys (their "Certified A/CPro PC-1" oil charge can comes also with some fancy additive ICE32 whatever that is -probably just more oil) but before I put it in I thought I'd double check with the experts here:
- OK to stick with 46 right? You Mudder ACheads haven't shown that PAG 100 or even 150 is much better for our 80 systems right? (mine is a 97)
- And Ester is not a better oil to use either, right?
- Or some new miracle oil invented since 1997 that would put ND-8 to shame?
[And what is this with the new $10 deposit on the little 134 cans that the PRK is now imposing? The
give only 90 days to return the empty can -surely in the hope that you will exceed that so they or the retailers can keep the $10... So much for having a couple spares around like I used to do... How long before they ban the DIY recharge altogether...? And my old filler hose adapters better still work... GRRRRR!!! You guys in saner states better stock up on the old style cans if you can still get them... ]
