PUT A/C oil high or low pressure side? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Okay, yes it's a one way valve. If it's direction is such that it does not seal on the compression stroke and rather RELEASES on the compression stroke, then tell me.... HOW does the compressor COMPRESS the refrigerant?

Please answer this question since I know nothing and you know everything, HMMMMM.....?

ROTFLMAO

Okay, as you've already pointed out I'm stupid. Stupid people are unable to look things up. So, how about you just give me the quick summary?

Fella' the first time I ever saw a reed valve in a compressor was when I was about 12. I'm now 60 and during that time I've seen way too many of them. So PLEASE, explain to me in fourth grade language so that I can understand. How can you build compression with a reed valve that opens to RELIEVE pressure.

I might be old, but I'm sure that I've not yet seen it all, so enlighten me.

Where are these arrogant people coming from these days? Why do we have to endure it? Too many of them. May be time to leave.

And if it were me, I would put the oil in the dryer rather than the compressor. Adding that much oil to the intake of a compressor makes me nervous...even if it won't hurt a compressor to put a liquid in it.

I replaced the compressor in my '82 380SL about a month ago, and the instructions that came with the new compressor said to pour the entire amount of new oil into the low pressure side of the compressor, then position the compressor so that the nose of the compressor is pointed down and leave it that way for at least 15 min. to ensure that oil gets to the shaft seal, then turn the input shaft at least 15 turns, then install the compressor.
This info is right off the four seasons instructions. Not trying to dispute anyone's instructions here, just providing the manufacturer's instructions. Keep in mind that this is for the older style compressor, and may not apply to the newer style ones.
