Re: New A6 Compressor received with wrong oil type

I came upon this nicely written compressor oil balance procedure. Link here: https://tccimfg.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Oil-Balance.pdf But it has a different view on how much oil to put in a new compressor. So main question is, if this procedure is valid for an A6 compressor, that has an oil su...

Re: New A6 Compressor received with wrong oil type

It says 10 fl. oz on the new compressor sticker label. So if I am able to drain 10 oz PAG from the new compressor, I should refill with 10 oz mineral? On my old compressor, it also says it contains 10 oz. See pictures. So it doesn’t matter how much oil that’s being drained from the old compressor? W...

Re: New A6 Compressor received with wrong oil type

Thanks all, for your replies and advises. Appreciate it. As it looks now I will follow your advises and not return the compressor. I will drain and change the oil from PAG 125 to Mineral 525 SAE. Exactly how much mineral oil should I put in the new compressor, prior to installing it? Should it be th...

Re: New A6 Compressor received with wrong oil type

I may have to return the purchased compressor, since it arrived with PAG synthetic oil instead of 525 mineral oil.
My AC system is still of the old Freon R-12 type, so mineral oil is mandatory.
Hence my questions.
Thanks

Re: New A6 Compressor received with wrong oil type

Yes, they are made by Alma Products. They do new ones and also remanufactured.
Perhaps someone here know for sure that the compressor oil can be replaced and changed to mineral type?
Thanks

New A6 Compressor received with wrong oil type

I’ve just purchased a new type GM A6 ac compressor, manufactured by company Alma Products. Compressor is all correct, but it’s unfortunately filled with PAG 150 oil, not mineral oil. I need a compressor filled with type 525 mineral oil, due to using R12 Freon in the AC system. Can I simply drain and...
