Re: New to forum, looking for input on where to introduce PAG oil

Yes, I flushed the system w/ a chemical that is supposedly designed to flush the system which certainly did smell like a degreaser (72-75% heptane). I did this for two reasons. 1. I had leaked an unknown amount of oil from the system and I had no way of knowing if i was at the correct (or even close...

Re: New to forum, looking for input on where to introduce PAG oil

My question is twofold. According to the service manual I should drain and record volume of oil removed. If >2.0 add...
