Can I use the Interdynamics Retrofit Kit if I am opening the system and replacing components?
Yes, but with a couple of changes. First, if you are replacing any components of your A/C system, be sure that the replacement items are compatible with R-134a. Also check and see if flushing is recommended after installing the new component. In addition, as long as the system is open, this is a good time to remove the any remaining mineral oil. When the system is open, you should use a POURABLE Ester Oil instead of the aerosol Oil Charge that comes with many of our kits. Pour it into the system and then, after closing the system, crank the compressor 25 times by hand to distribute the new lubricant, and then charge with R-134a to 80 to 85% of the original R-12 Capacity. When replacing the compressor, make sure that the new compressor is compatible with R-134a, and use whatever oil the compressor recommends (PAG or Ester) in order to maintain the compressor warranty.
