i dont claim to be an expert, just sharing my experience.

best of luck, Jack
And what made you think that ' lubrication needed to be ' enhanced' over and above the new oil being installed ?

If someone follows your out side the FSM directions and it messes up their system.....will you pay for it to be corrected ?

We have no way of knowing what reason you have to be promoting ' ice 32 ' .... do you know what is IN it ? Do you have independent laboratory test results on what it does or showing it will not cause any harm to our AC systems ?

Is that addition going to cause regular AC shops to refuse to work on someone's system worried it will contaminate their expensive recovery machines ?
