Re: IML: Re:airconditiong/retrofit

have had very good luck w/ using the refrigerant from autorefrigerants.com  Can use ester oil w/ that and it works as well (better actually) than R 12. No need to change condensor for higher heat removal.  Acutally if everything is in tact and no seals leaking or system not broken, you can just swap out the dryer if needed.  I like to change the orifice tube/expansion valve to be safe.

 

good luck
