So I just installed a secondary evaporator under the couch and had an AC shop run new lines to it. The system was closed but had a leak, which they fixed.
I'd like to change and or check the compressor oil, but it seems like that requires removing the compressor??
Or is it safe to say that since the system was pretty much sealed the oil level should be OK??
I'm going to use Duracool, BTW.

Greetings,
Name here is Tom and I have been lurking in the background for about a year
as a wannabee. September 15, 2009, I became a newbie. Hold your applause -
thank you!
I am fortunate as to have purchased a '73 Glacier from Dennis Sexton - after
some discussion WE decided that he had too many GMC's and offered the
Glacier to me.
Just thought I would jump in on the freon chat. I was at Carlisle yesterday
and there
was a vendor there selling "Enviro-Safe". He goes by the name of "The
Freon Don".
I asked him about Duracool and he said that his company makes Duracool and
Enviro-Safe
and that they are the same product.
Cost was about $8 per can
His fact sheet states:
Non-toxic
Hydrocarbon refrigerant
Green Peace approved
Does not require a compressor oil change
Made in USA
When using in an R-12 vehicle - 134 fittings must be installed
Stop leak available
6oz can is equal to 1lb. of 134 or 18oz of R-12
Comes with a green dye
I have no association with The Don or his company, just passing this on. He
does not have a web site, but I will forward a phone number if anyone is
interested. Send a PM to
gmcrv1 AT gmail DOT com
Hope this wasn't a repeat.
Thanks,
Tom Eckert

Carlisle PA.
See:
http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/ce/index.asp
Sorry, no web site, but I will forward a phone number if requested - not
sure
of the protocol for posting phone numbers here.
I'm currently in NJ - heading back to the Memphis, TN area next week.
Auburn is a bit far and the interior is apart thanks to all the stuff I have
learned over
the past year reading the mail here.

No, that's just the page for the Carlisle Auto flea market - 7,000+ vendor
spaces - a real men's mall!

Yes, Enviro-Safe is another brand of Hydrocarbon refrigerant. HC-12a
and Duracool are other brands.
I don't think the vendor was telling the truth in saying that his
company makes Duracool and Enviro-Safe. He is a vendor, not the
manufacturer.
By the way, you can get Enviro-Safe on eBay for $5.00 a can.

Emery,
I agree - I think he was fibbing. I have been a vendor at Carlisle since
day one - 1972 - both spring and fall and our spaces are very close to where
he is. He said he has been there selling this type of stuff since 1993. I
don't think so. I asked the other five guys in our group and they can't
remember him either. Although, we are getting older...one of the guys is
88! CRS?
So, is Duracool and Enviro-Cool the same stuff?

If you add 2 oz it won,t damage anything. May be a little over or under but will work ok. I looked in my 94 Suburban shop manual and it states add 3 oz when REPLACING EVAP.

OK so it had R12 in it, and with the 2nd evap I suppose I should add a couple of OZ mineral oil to the system since there is so much more wetted surface.
I think I'll just pour it into the new hose since it's easy to get to.
Now I can't wait for a hot day to try it out!
