REd Dot a/c compressor question

Post by dcartledge » Tue Nov 07, 2017 3:52 am

Does anyone know if these compressors are shipped with factory oil in them?

If not (I'm guessing not) what type and how much oil goes into it?

Thanks in advance.

Big book! Thanks.

No where in this manual does it say how or when to add oil to the compressor. Is it safe to assume the compressor is filled from factory?

Guess the worse that could happen would be to burn one compressor. Does anyone know how to check the oil level in the compressor?

Get a disposable measuring cup. Break seal on compressor. Pour oil out. If oil comes out, it is prelubed. If not, then not. Pour oil back in.
