Critical Lubrication Guidelines
Westron R-134A requires specific synthetic lubricants:
-
Required Oils: Can be used with Polyolester (POE) or Poly Alkylene Glycol (PAG). PAG is only for Auto Air conditioning.
-
Incompatible Oils: It cannot be used with Mineral Oil or Alkyl Benzene Lubricant since it is not miscible with Westron R-134a Refrigerants.
-
Moisture Caution: POE or PAG Oil absorbs moisture quickly when exposed to the atmosphere. Careful handling is required to avoid prolonged exposure to air.
