AC Oil

Does vacuuming an R134 AC system, remove the AC oil as well? Does vacuuming the AC remove any oil at all?

Also, does a relatively small AC leak, (i.e. 8 oz/year) allow any of the AC oil to escape?

Just curious.

Phil

You break all the connections loose and blow everything that you can out. Do not blow through the expansion valve nor compressor. I typically pull the condenser out and move it around to help mt it.

I only hoped it could've be done with the system closed.
