kramttocs Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 It came with PAG 46 Synthetic. That is the R134a compatible oil and the manufacturer wouldnt warranty the compressor otherwise. Also I added the UV dye in case there is a failure in the future. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starliner Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Thanks I'm almost embarrassed by this. I kinked the oil line on the AC and it wouldnt have been an issue but the kink had a memory and wanted to collapse. So I wrapped it with Fiberfix and it will never kink again. I had used this stuff many years ago on some frayed boat steering and shift cables. 10 bucks vs a 40.00 line. Hardens to almost steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you kinked the hose, but you fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Shark Tank product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to say that there was a change between '85 and '86. Was that when the FS10 was introduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, Darth had an FS6 and he was built 08/86 so would have been late production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Gary, Darth had an FS6 and he was built 08/86 so would have been late production. Interesting. I wonder why they say the '86 and later system takes more refrigerant? Larger evap or condenser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
