Handling Compressor Oil

Use approved compressor oil from a closed, sealed container. When adding refrigerant oil, the transfer device and container should be clean and dry to minimize the possibility of contamination. Refrigerant oil is moisture-free and will readily absorb moisture from the air. Do not open the oil container until the service procedure requires oil. Cap the oil immediately after use. Always store compressor oil in a closed sealed container. Compressor oil left in open or improperly sealed containers will absorb moisture. Do not reuse oil that has been removed from the refrigeration system. Dispose of used oil properly, according to local regulations.
